no i wouldnt stop eating fast food all together, but if i found a finger in my grilled stuffed burrito i sure wouldnt be able to eat at taco bell anymore... and nothing makes a black belts instruction better than a blue or purple belts instruction, but by the outsider, the black belt is considered to be the pinnacle. if somebody gets hurt while training with a purple belt, then its much easier to think "well it was just this one instructor and he doesnt understand the way to train people completely" but when somebody gets injured training under a black belt they think "damn this is the best this art can do?" see with a lower rank it becomes the instructor's fault, with a black belt people will be more likely to blame the whole art

If we were to equate this to sports, would the coach of a pro team be blamed for the injury of a world class athlete in training. Would it make the coach "ill legit" so to speak.
