i agree, while i don't know much about kenjutsu Well I'm not going to repeat myself on this one. Take a look at other styles and read some books (I personnaly recommend Ellis Amdur) you'll see weirder things (Jigen ryu is a classical example). Kendo is representative of some schools of thought, not all.

As for the quote, invite a journalist to your dojo and see what results you get.
