IF learning martial arts is like climbing a mountain, I'd suggest that if your mountain climbing takes you further from the peak, rather than closer to it, you're doing something wrong.

Here's my two-cents.
Personally, I look at the name of the art "Tai Chi Chuan" as an indicator of the most important quality, so it's about TaiChi and Yin and Yang, rather than external 'look'. If somebody is correctly separating Yin and Yang in their body and movements, and in their fighting strategy (no double-weighting) for most of the time (nobody is ever 100% all the time) then I think they can be said to be "doing" Tai Chi Chuan.
