Judo learn many submissions in a less effective manner, too. I don't like the way juji gatame is usually taught in judo classes, both hands holding onto the wrist and giving the guy too much room to escape, etc.... We've heard all these things before. The difference between the two arts is not only one of emphasis, but also one of methodology, uniform variability, and also content (Judo just doesn't have omaplate and half guard escapes). Otherwise, many lifelong judoka would change their emphasis and compete in nhb.
As for catch, it's a nice supplement to bjj, not an alternative or superior option.

Judo has the omoplata, andt they have the half guard escpare, what you see in modern competiton judo is not the whole art.
