You're making assumptions that don't seem to be there. The quest says that people started doing the false type of geomancy after seeing Kazan do it for real. The false type is rife now in Hingashi (or at least Kugane) as a consequence, but that isn't the same as saying the false type is inherently Hingan or the true type is Doman.
