I think if you listen carefully there is no contradiction. My point is that this aesthetic history is not the end story of butoh. Hijikata's early work was far more radical and for many current mature butoh dancers that starting point is more interesting than some of the more codified later developments in the history of butoh.

I think her interpretation of the anti-aesthetic re: "what is" Butoh is not good dance scholarship.
You can trace the history of Butoh from both an aesthetic standpoint as well as from a technique standpoint. In fact the documentation supporting both lines of study is quite available for the dedicated researcher.
