Okay, we agree on that point...
My point however is that all of those techniques are not what most people would consider, "high percentage" attacks. Flying armbars, flying triangles etc. are dangerous moves, they can put you in a world of hurt (given in most sub wrestling matches slamming/spiking is illegal).
My goal in stand up is to control and take down when I am rolling. I have submitted someone standing on only 2 occasions that I can recall and the victims provided thorough evidence of stupidity prior to those submission attempts... Hence, my opinion that someone who is an expert at takedowns will have an advantage over the average BJJ guy who does not often work takedowns, takedown defense, throws, grips or related techniques...
