If we're using the Naruto reference, then Arie swordsmanship is like Fire Release, while White Style is like Magma Release (Fire + Earth). Sure, there is an overlap because Magma Release requires Fire Release, but that's only one part. The super-term for "Arie Swordsmanship - White Style" most likely isn't "Arie swordsmanship", it's "swordsmanship". Incidentally the super-term for "Arie swordsmanship" is also "swordsmanship". This is definitely the case if White utilises the souls, and most likely the case if he merely customised the style. Remember, just because he customised the style doesn't mean the original techniques evaporated, so his repertoire should be larger than that of the Arie swordsmanship.

Out of courtesy for you (@Demotivator), I intentionally skipped over the assumption for assumption exchange in the second paragraph, and I directly ignored the attempt to explain the difference in the naming convention with "SIU grew lazy"; these statements are just too much to unpack without being harsh.

And no, the mention of Phantom Master Sword technique isn't the issue, it only brought my attention to this page. And it was here that I noticed the list.

By the way, why is there even this discussion? The first mention of an alternative interpretation should be more than enough to remove it from the page like any other assumption on this wiki. You were quite clear that if something isn't confirmed by the Word of God—and story apparently isn't enough—, it either should be part of the Notes and Trivia, or it shouldn't be included at all.
