who has been associated with the Krishnamurti school for the past six years

Isn't the Present Perfect in the second quote the case when both rules are applicable?
1) We use Present Perfect when we focus on action rather than on time when it occurred;
2) We use Present Perfect when we want to designate an action that started in the past and still continues.

I specially provided another example from the same video (first quote about David Bohm) to demonstrate that rule №1 is widely used during the introduction of discussion participants. So I suppose that both rules must be applicable in the second quote, not only the second one.

1:09 - David Bohm is professor of...
"David Bohm is professor of theoretical physics of Birkbeck College, London University in England. He has written numerous books concerning theoretical physics and the nature of consciousness. Professor Bohm and Mr. Krishnamurti have held previous dialogues on many subjects."

1:46 - John Hidley is a psychiatrist...
"John Hidley is a psychiatrist in private practice, who has been associated with the Krishnamurti school in Ojai, California, for the past six years."

2) We use Present Perfect when we want to designate an action that started in the past and still continues.

"John Hidley is a psychiatrist in private practice, who has been associated with the Krishnamurti school in Ojai, California, for the past six years."

That sentence seems to me to be a classic example of something that started in the past and still continues.
