I also disagree that Western teachers are better. I don't remember being taught mindfulness at school. Now on YouTube I find many trainers of the body of Chinese youtubers who really explain much better.

I find that mindfulness is increased after a period of effortful study. One is able to visualize better than when one is a beginner. There are things of which I am aware now more than before. For one, direction of play is a bit easier for me now, even though this is one skill that will always require improvement.

I don't think you're making a real point here. Your distinction between teaching methods does not seem valid to me.
I have never seen anyone "teach by example" without giving some explanation and without trying to make the student understand some point/concept.
How would that even work? Seems like a straw man argument, even though I don't get what for.

Examples are absolutely essential to learning. I would even argue that it's possible to learn by example alone - without explanation (as AI has done - as well as the first humans who ever played Go).
However it's not possible the other way round.
Of course explanation can speed up the learning process tremendously and is therefore super important for teaching.

And used by basically every teacher I've seen.

Communication and presentation skills are a different matter of course.

I have seen many Asian professionals teaching only / almost only by example, showing it without explanation.

Learning without examples is possible. I sometimes use it in or outside go. It works by general, always correct statements. Learning by combining general statements and examples is also possible.
