Her Butterfly can be compared to how Naruto used to make his clones before mastering Shadow clone jutsu. Naruto made a weird weak clone that isn't good for anything, but he still managed to make one. But due to the incomplete condition it was in, he wasn't allowed to graduate(which had the condition of making a perfect clone) and how Seven year old Sasuke wasn't able to complete his Fireball jutsu, even though he was able to make some fire., so in the Shinobi world, a jutsu that doesn't perform it's actual purpose is not considered as one. Even if one manages to do something out of it.

Umh... no, it isn't the same thing, because of the scale of the jutsu (even though Shadow Clone is still an A-rank jutsu, if I remember correctly). In Sasuke's case we are talking about one of the most basic Fire Style Jutsu, in Chocho's case we are talking about the most powerful and difficult Akimichi jutsu... sure, she still can't use it perfectly, but it's still pretty damn huge for her to be able to use the imperfect mode. However...

And who exactly comfirmed that Chocho doesn't train? It was obvious that Chocho didn't witness the butterfly mode for the first time. She probably was being trained for it from way before during the end of the Gaiden episodes. Shikadai even comfirmed that it wasn't the first time she tried this. So, I guess she did a light training for this.

true, here you are right. She probably did actually train in this, maybe Choji was just train her to make her master the butterfly mode
