I think this is actually art imitating science, but that's a quibble.
As for the rest, I heartily agree. I've been thinking about that here lately, how we watch movie fights and they are typically highly choreographed and often visually beautiful forms of dance that likely have nothing at all to do with what real violence looks like.
Not that I want to promote real violence, but I wonder what impact that has on human psychology and how unrealistic it makes some of our expectations when dealing with actual reality when it fails to match up to what we have fed our brains via various forms of media.

It was utilitarian, good for identification purposes. But, it's almost impossible not to see it as an artistic tradition too. Point taken though. This style originates in science, and they had reasons for their style.
