>I'm about 80% sure that actual swordfights are more like the seasoned boxers constantly moving in and out
Truth. The duel in "Rob Roy" is a very accurate swordfight, some of the best sword play on film.

None of the original records of his duels and battles mention him using two swords, at least not that I've ever seen.
The only time he's mentioned using two swords is in his book, which contains no real substance on actual technique, just a bunch of generic Asian philosophy bullshit, and in the non-lethal duels he had that were more of demonstrations than duals.
In all of his actual duels to the death he used a single weapon, usually caving people's head in with a bokken or an oar.
The idea that Musashi would purposely tell people misinformation or even train them wrong is incredibly in line with his personality, he did every possible thing he could to disadvantage and troll his opponents into making mistakes.
Making himself a greater swordsman by simply lowering everybody else's ability and tricking them into doing goofy bullshit is the exact kind of philosophy he had, it would have been poetic to him.
