The form is the frame and the real practice is the picture in the middle. You need both to be complete. Hence, I believe that practicing tuishou with a lot of people will help me refining my form. If you practice always with the same guys you get used to their specificity and you learn to answer only to those. Competition can be seen as just a way to pratice with a lot of different people/style. That cannot be bad in itself ... Anyway that's just my point of view, don't take it too seriously :) I am as advanced as you in taijiquan, but I start to see tuishou as the real part of taiji.
