Tim Tackett and his Wednesday Night Group focus on realistic self-defense applications. There have been a great number of experienced fighters in his group over the years. You had streetfighters, bouncers, police officers, military guys from special forces and 100% bona fide originals who trained with Bruce Lee himself. It certainly looks to have been a great place to train and prepare for real life applications.

JKD though, is like the emperor's new clothes - it takes a brave soul to admit the emperor is being taken for a ride ;)

Few people have ever been jabbed in the face. I mean really nailed. Most people don't know what that feels like.

So how could they possibly know how to react? Most people have no answer to a jab because they've never felt one, let alone had the time to dwell on it.
The fact that people training in a Martial Art have never felt a jab to the face is kind of scary for me to think about.

I think you're right, though.
