Well, I guess that is what distinguishes a martial way (Do) from a martial art (jutsu)...
Every founder of the classical systems emphasize that combat application is the lowest level of understanding. The mental processes, the discipline, and the spiritual/philosophical development is much more important AND more applicable in one's day to day encounters with people.
If you train in a "combat only" system...that's fine.
But, this thread is about something beyond technique...
If you want to debate the value of Do vs Jutsu...start a new thread.
Thank you for the comments, anyway.
