dont know but it makes sense to me. what never made sense was the fact that someone went from senior student to teacher just cause their belt changed color.
however like im arguing in the young sandan thread, it probably should just be used as a guideline to give some buffer zone between getting a shodan and being regarded as a sensei. theres plenty of shodans and nidans who are so experienced it would be somewhat insulting to call them sempai.... *shrug*
