To me it seems redundant to make the distinction. I suspect this distinction only serves as Korean propaganda so as to sell the image of TKD as a purely Korean martial art.
Anyway... I always thought that TKD was derived from Tae Kyun and Karate.

No way dude, a fifth level ranger could kick a 10th level mage's ass! Who would win between the hulk and ironman?
I agree with you and these arguments are assinine. all these arts are related and interchangeable. It's not the art, but the person who uses it. Who cares where they came from? I like angelina Jolie, but I don't care about Jon Voight's nutsack.
