Hi old sempai,
Whether or not the training is worth-while or what information is passed down is irrelevant...to me anyway.
If a tradition claims links to something of substance and credibility, it seems like they are grabbing for acceptance (if of course it's not true). It's not throwing stones at all. If a group of people claim a link to someone of Japanese budo fame, they should have enough to back up their claims when called on.
Regards,
Jay
