It doesn't seem to be uncommon for a highly skilled martial arts master, especially one who is very charismatic, to be seen as a master of a lot of other things, in fact, a master of everything. Often, their pronouncements on things are taken as true or obvious errors ignored. I'm not naming names or listing examples at the moment, but it's not something limited to one style or another. This even goes on to a bit of a lesser degree in the common perception that a martial arts instructor has special knowledge and wisdom. Think of Mr. Miyagi giving Daniel-san life lessons, or Master Po's teaching the young Kwai Chang Caine wisdom...
