True & ST should be able to do that.
But to avoid beating the same dead horse hopefully, should Chen TJQ look/act/move/express/etc... like SD or like the Chen Village teachers who have done only one thing their entire life? Honestly... who's right in this? The people who carry because it's their legacy & teach it as such, or somebody who has a form or two saying "it's played this way, they only pretty it up & dumb it down" (Yes I've heard that statement, not those word, but that sentiment from wearer(s) of the candycane belt while in China)
