HappyCat,
I can't speak for anyone else but I will tell you that when I use the term Jun Fan I am talking about the core system... the core curriculum andn ot the concept part. Jun Fan has a written curriculum that you can actually look at and train by. JKD does not.
When Dan said he considered himself a Silat practitioner I do not think he meant that he was moving towards Silat and away from JKD. I have trained with Dan enough times and heard him talk about it enough times to know that he also considers himself a Kali practitioner and a LAMECO practitioner and Muay That practitioner and on and on and on. I think he is just simply giving credit to the arts he trains in. You have to remember Guro Dan hold instructorships in many different styels/systems.
Take Care,
Tim
