Perhaps the person repeating the professor remembered differently to what the professor had meant? And if you look to Bourdieu, (I'm pretty sure it is Bourdieu, or if not another french philosopher of that era, I do other french postmodernists) there is an argument that we hold our social context in our body, so therefore an Egyptian would move differently and thus would dance differently, and if one's looking toward the essence thing it makes a difference. I think a professor would be promoting discussion rather that stating fact.
