I've already stated this multiple times, but it's badly taught (generalization), meaning improper teaching methods or explanations based on "feel" or tradition instead of scientific studies.

A couple of days ago, I got scolded by an older judoka (not even the Sensei) for doing the "competitive" version of a technique instead of the "kata style" while in practice.
