IMO the problem comes down to a couple of aspects.
The nature of JKD is that its very personal as you pointed out so you get people with very different opinions by default, this causes arguments, thats human nature. They found what works for them and what they think will work so they disagree with others that dont think in a similar manner.

Also lack of competitive aspect to JKD. With no proving ground it is very easy to have a ton of techniues and arguments regarding them, if there were a sporting, ring aspect to JKD it would at least test SOME of them, obviously some stuff would be banned from the ring but you would at least get rid of the ton of crap that also exists in JKD after teacher after teacher that hasnt had to test any of it.
