- You can only teach the form. You can not teach the application.
- If you teach the form, you should not correct your students if they make mistake.
- You can make the training easier for students even if it may violate the style principles.
- If you demonstrate your form in public, you should always add in some extra moves.
What would you do if, as a teacher
- your students aren't interested in applications, only learning forms
-when you teach the form, students don't incorporate the corrections you provide them
-when you teach the details, the students don't work hard enough to ever learn them and what they do is a simplified version because the "real stuff" is too difficult for them
-when they demonstrate in public they have trouble remembering the sequence of the forms?

Teaching is not money making. It is the passing on of knowledge.
it likely becomes demotivating
ego, passing on what their teachers taught - even if it is "wrong" or "deficient" in some way - acquiring status, making money, and so on.
