Or maybe they have literally decades more experience than you and aren't as easily impressed.
I very much doubt that. Decades of doing X will not develop Y, no matter how much it is trained. Furthermore, after decades one should have the ability to describe it coherently, as if they really understand what is going on with their bodies, rather than spouting pure gibberish or changing the topic. Even without being a scientist, they should be able to use simple explanations of the perceived physics, not over-complicate it with mysticism and bullshit.
I have met a large number of masters in China and was impressed enough by the one I ended up learning from to learn the skill, yes. I can understand how people not familiar with it would be skeptical, as I was. I have also met a number of pretenders that appear to Fajin but cannot project that power into their opponent's body (or a pad). From what I gather, these latter types appear to be more prevalent in the West...
I am not saying that being able to generate internal power is enough to win a fight or that one can't win a fight without it, but that it will invariably help one to do it more efficiently. I highly suggest that you seek out someone with this power and experience it for yourself. I trained with a professional Sanda fighter before I met my Master and even he would stand to benefit from learning this knowledge, if he wasn't so arrogant.
