Robert Drysdale description of the BJJ lineage.

Why did he put Western Wrestling up there but ignore the guys at Luta Livre in their relationship with the Gracies?!
Takeo Yano didn't learn from Kodokan, but from Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, didn't he?
Why should we accept speculation about the Gracie teacher being Maeda?
What is the reason for saying that they did not learn from Maeda, when; Maeda worked at their father's circus, had a gym in the city (small if I'm not mistaken) where they lived, and I imagine that if Donato Pires, (student at maeda, right?), was the one who taught, then it was at the gym of Maeda, soon they were part of it. (The other option is that they learned outside their hometown, but what are the chances based on all the things above?).
He, understandably, also did not mention the CACC teacher that Kano asked to teach grappling to his students, Pop Moore student of Frank Gotch, I'm just saying that because he put wrestling up there.

What do you guys think?
