. I’d also have to say that defeating or not defeating a particular person doesn’t necessarily say much about the method or theory. Everybody wins and loses when you roll.
Saying it has to be felt seems to me to be a cop out

It would say it can be done by any method. The key is what is the most efficient method at "that" moment.
different things

There should be some definitive examples of what can be done using IP or what's called internal power that cannot be done by any other method .
Chinese Masters that I've met tend to demonstrate things that cannot be done by any other method.
They do this so there is an objective way of looking at it that then promotes one's curiosity to feel it. Yes it is fun to feel a very different method and effect being used by one who has skill.
Graculus wrote:The other thing about internal power and 'it has to be felt' is that it can be difficult to see a difference in what a practitioner is doing, unless they exaggerate their movement or you are standing very close and looking at the right thing. Feeling it can convince you that something different is going on, but video footage might be entirely unconvincing.
And to be honest, it can be very difficult to figure out what is going on even if you are right there (and feeling it) – and even baby steps to reproducing it in any useful form can take a long, long time. It involves the use of the body in ways that make it very difficult to get reliable feedback on, and oftentimes training and demonstration methods seem to be confused (and may appear 'unrealistic').
