Let's see if I can explain it using an anology that many here will understand...

You are what we call in some forms of martials arts (in dojo japanese) "Jukyu Sensei" Or "Student Teacher"

When a Black Belt of one style steps into the Dojo of another to learn the second style a few things can happen..

1. They accept that they are starting at square one and learn the new art, using their pervious training to excel at a slightly faster rate then a rank beginner..

2. They let their ego take over and not let go of the fact that they know nothing of the new style, and refuse to learn the new ways.

3. They try and teach their old style to the people of the new Dojo, continuously trying to convice them of their old arts superiority, and never learn the fine points and nuance of the new style...
