Perhaps that was what was ment to have happen to YLC, but it was not easily done because his spyingly practice and talent to understand what he was learning through his spying he had gained unusual mastery ?. A spying servant would surely have received a good beating back then, and been thrown out as well

Q: Why punch is not emphasized in Yang Taiji? In the 108 moves long Yang Taiji form, you have to wait until the 20th move to learn "step out, deflect, grab, and punch".

Anyway, interesting read Bao.

Everyone acknowledged that the style came from Chenjiagou, Yang came directly from Chen, and all the other styles came from Yang until the Chen clan managed to make themselves into the next Shaolin tourist attraction and turned it into a multi-million dollar business. Then, all of a sudden, the Yang's and everybody else (i.e. Wudang) wanted to get their piece of the pie and started coming out with their own stories about how each was more taoist-er and mystical-er than the next guy.
All the original disputes about origin centered around whether Chen Wangting created the whole thing, or whether the taoist/neigong elements came from outside the village and were incorporated by Chen Wangting. So it really comes down to a semantic debate of what a person means by "origin", which ties directly to what the individual believes to be the essence of the art, or what makes a thing what it is. Folks can debate that all they want, but when people get into silly theories about taiji not passing through the village at all, wandering taoists, etc., it just become ridiculous.
