I have yet to see an official ruling on this however and wonder if it is a ruling or if it just some of the people on the optimization board making their own rules up. If there is an official ruling can someone direct me to it?

For example, the Ki Blast feat says a Monk can take it as the 6th level Monk bonus feat, so that is the only time you can take it as such. Otherwise, it's only based on your style.
