You want to know the rules, and know them by name, yet you reject the names 
and the rules that are provided in TKD.  They are the only rules we have!

In fact, there is something the good speakers have to guard against:  we 
learn the definitions and the rules; we internalize them and forget the 
verbatim rules and definitions we learned; we restate what we know in the 
form of a rule or definition in order to help someone else and then we 
start thinking that our rule takes precedence to the TKD rule, because we 
use the language.
