I've heard it from Ayoob, but he may have gotten it from Cirillo.
My thoughts: as mentioned the winning "technique" is multiple fast hits to vital areas; you can argue all day about the best way to get them.
As a relative newb, I think a lot of the pushback against MT has more to do with some of it's blind adherents than the technique itself. When I first got "serious " a few years ago I read a forum post where someone was told they "weren't worthy to speak Colonel Coopers name" when questioning some aspect of his teaching. Now obviously that's a small minority of Cooper's devotees, but when a newb reads stuff like that thoughts of "hokey religions and outdated weapons" start to surface.
For me MT is certainly the foundation of martial pistolcraft as we know it and should be respected as such, but the world moves on, and some things change, and we shouldn't be afraid to change with it.
