Yeah, I don't buy the "stab only" theory about the gladius either. Given it's size it would make for one heck of a butcher's weapon, and given the opportunity to slash an opponent, was the legionary supposed to pass it by and wait for a chance to stab instead? Given the fortuitous instances that actual combat would present for a slash, why wouldn't it be part of their training regime?
Oh, I know...there's no solid evidence for it, but what else is new?
