When you hear advance level of something. It could be bad news.

Another view is the proportion. Neidan may need 50/50 Xing/Ming overall. Neigong/Qigong 30/70. And different stages need different proportions too.

I would say it is normal to argue or take on each other. But if one is prolific writer and there are so many holes in the writings, it is very hard for the others. Either they have to argue on every point on every posting, which means all out war everyday, and possible accusation of being discriminate or prejudiced, or they just let it go against their understandings or even conscience?

Coincidentally I mentioned quite some time ago his intention was to teach. He was quite unhappy towards my observation.

Yes, the Xing in cultivation is not only the character or integrity of a person which is a layman's understanding. The Xing in Taoist cultivation is somewhat similar to other traditions like Buddhism, about the stillness, pureness, voidness of the mind. The character/integrity are requirements.

If you are interested in how west and east converge on Daoism, try this book Dream Trippers Global Daoism and the Predicament of Modern Spirituality David A. Palmer and Elijah Siegler https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/D/bo26692000.html

I suggest you read more. All schools are so different. e.g. not all use LDT.

This theory doesn't work. Once they found an answer, there could have been even more funding, to find out how it works, how to harness it, how to heal, how to put into electric cars, AI and robots..... As to your post about substantial increase in health, it is commonly observed that a healthy person would encounter less result from QG or cultivation e.g. a young person. While a sick or old or both person could see a more substantial improvement. This seems strange. You say you have been healthy all along, right? Another explanation could be some of the QG, breathing exercises have a stimulating effect but they also use up your reserve fast. It is ok for a young and vital person who replenish easily. Cultivators could feel full of energies, pinkish face and skin, sleep very little and yet full of drive, strong voice. Old books say it is burning your Jing/essence, your body is emptied with internal fire raging on uncontrolled. Just be careful.

Oxygen

I think attributing Chi to oxygen and ATP don't make too much sense. China side so many scientists and patriots have been fervently trying to find out the secret of Chi for many many years. But they have no conclusive result yet. Don't these highly qualified people never think of simplistic stuff like oxygen and ATP?

In China, most people, cultivators, health, martial and sport enthusiasts do not take time to investigate what is Chi or many of the abstract terms. They mainly approach Chi on its energetic properties, lesser as a substance. So it is natural the outsiders like the "West" would view Chi as totally energy. It is unlike when we use a phone, who would bother about the chips and circuits or the theories behind them. The Chinese work on the map, the west wonder what is in the map, but all are maps, not real.

AI and translator are only effective if the person is well versed with the subject and is able to find out the mistakes and correct them. If a person only reads a few websites and think he already knows everything and then use AI/translator, the result would be a disaster. Post such result on the web would spread the wrongs to subsequent usage by everyone. I do not trust AI as it even can't give correct info like fare, opening hours and so on.

Far from it. The Taoist movement is merely up and down of the whole body for a few inches in quick succession. It is better classify into pure physical movements, a mini bouncing, but not tremor or vibration. If cat is to be used as an example, it is more like the cat shaking the water onto you, or dogs too.
