How could Anakin train to learn a technique nobody knew about but Qui-Gon, Ben, and Yoda?
This is the other problem with persisting in consuming the fiction primarily as a story about rulesets and powerlevels: People can't even come to a common understanding on what they are and how they work.
Probably because the fiction itself as seen in the films isnt anywhere near as concerned with that read as the fans might be.
We're basically tripping over people's headcanon when it comes to the Force, compounded by the point of view being skewed from jump due to one side looking at the Force as a storytelling tool that helps enhance characterization and theme, and the other looking at it as a reward for characters successfully "earning" their good guy status.
