I think they`re right with their opinions there - over there at budoseek.com.
First of all, we sometimes just have to accept, that certain answers
are not existant or at least (out of respect etc.?) not openly published.
Furthermore we should be aware (especially, if we`re not "in" the stuff)
of the fact that we often tend to see as written, what we`d like
to be written and should try to re-adjust our focus on things.
I don`t know why, but I will repeat myself:
"Chosui taught "authentic kukishin-ryű" to Akimoto and Kimura,
as at the time they were his students he was still in this ryű."
(not exactly word by word) is something completely different from:
"[...] the Kukishinden tenshin hyoho website [...] specifically
identified that the Kukishin ryu taught in the X-kans
as being fully legitimate and authentic.".
You are in at least 3 different forums, just to look for an
"answer" which doesn`t doe any harm or good to your
own ma-training as you are - as you did mention -
in none of the 3 x-kan - why does the question
cause you that much bad headache, then?
You`ve been told, that your question isn`t just one of these questions
of simply "yes" or "no" and that you should not fill in the gaps
with what you would consider to be logical or good.
Writing about the relation between Takamatsu
and person A (Kimura) and also person B
(Akimoto) doesn`t say anything about
his relation to person C (Hatsumi).
You not just missinterpreting things.
Yopu do interpret things that aren`t htere,
where you think you`ve seen them (kuki-homepage).
