How do you think these old Teachers could tell a real dragon shout from a snake shout?
Also, if you were asked by Mu Chou, "After three or four shouts, then what?" what would you respond?

Honestly, and without being cheeky, I think it takes spending time with the student. Brief interactions aren't enough to tell if a person is practicing the Dharma diligently or if there is good understanding. Longer retreats, longer conversations, etc, will help. Especially on an internet based sangha it is easier to present a false impression or to persist with a wrong understanding. Hopefully with the latter continued participation will allow the teacher or others to help.
