I don't think any instructor should be saying "because I said so", it's not only provocative to western students, it's also harmful to the instructor. Anybody who says that may start believing it and that way lies sokeship in your own special little ryu.

The correct way to admit that you don't have a good reason for doing something is to say "try it for a while and see".

I respond slightly differently, generally I would say that that's the way I do it and it's got me this far. I may have to change it later, but if at my stage it works, then at the student's stage it probably will too.
