There are many different types of Iron Palm both internal and external.
If you practice tai chi you can develop internal iron palm as well.
As for 100 lessons that is probably very expensi.
like all things opinions vary
the main thing should be to practice and not hurt yourself to build up the energy overtime so you can focus it.
A good student is def important, but at the same time, if the Sifu's teaching or quality is not that good then even the best efforts from the most dedicated student can end up going to waste, imho.
I'm not sure why you'd think the Kuen Kit is nonsense. The majority of it is not even anything abstract or hard to believe (and i say "most" because i know some people dont appreciate anything which talks about internal energy or chi), it's pretty much just good ideas and concepts to remember about Ving Tsun and it's applications (whether in combat or other aspects of life).
But I'd also say that the value of the Kuen Kit is related to and dependent on the understanding and level of the reader. It seems a bit different these days because many of us now find the most common sayings from the Kuen Kit translated online, but as for Sifus who hand write and pass the Kuen Kit (most likely including family specific lines as well that are not in the kuen kit we see online) down to there students, as far as I know, this is only done once the student has reached a pretty high level, usually after completing the system.
just my 2c

To trivialize the wing chun kuen kuit as Graham does is tunnel vision. The kuit do not teach you directly if you are not well grounded in wing chun. But they help sharpen the understanding
after sufficient learning, practicing and understanding, I am not going to waste time and debate the obvious...
