True, ocassionally I write about things beyond what I can do; I label them as "theoretical".
I wouldn't claim what I cannot do as golden truth beacuse that not practical.
If you say you know how to build a car, then you should build the car and demonstrate how powerful it is, even if it is a prototype. You can't just expect people to invest time and effort to build something with your method and see for yourself. As an engineer, you should know. But this is exactly what you are doing.
Call me practical; but I wouldn't spend money (effort) buying a car until I test drive a demo model.
All the teachers I have respect for, are the ones who had cross hands with me and demonstrated real skills. Leung Wun Zi, Wei Shu Ren, Wan Kam Leung, late WSL, TST, Tian Ke Yan, to name a few. I had also met numerous supposedly top masters whose claims are bigger than their ability.
