I simply stated my impression, without judgement.
Also, I said nothing about his knowledge; it could well be excellent.
As for it being unimportant how he moves his own body - how can that be? How are we to learn peace from someone who isn't in this state himself?
Consider also another question: why is it important to know why different people do asanas differently? Is this really a primary question? Each person has a different internal equilibrium between asana, pranayama, meditation, etc, and their individual bone/joint structure is part of this equilibrium. Sometimes what's very difficult to attain via asana it easy to attain via pranayama, and vice versa.
It seems more relevant to help each individual realise their own equilibrium, rather than compare two different individuals to each other.
