I can understand the snatch, but how is a kettlebell military press or bent-over row any different than the dumbbell version?
different weight offset/distribution and totally different ballistic effect
I wouldn't agree with that in regards to the bent row. I see no difference in weight distribution between a KB and a DB in the bent row.
+1 the ballistic effect is most felt in drills that move the weight at high velocity, such as the swing/snatch... for an exercise as slow as the bent row/press it's not really there.
I guess it's a differently shaped weight that will definitely expose a poor pressing form if you have one. It does sit differently on your arm and that requires you to change your force application somewhat.
I also think it requires much more of an effort to stabilize than a dumbell
When pressing, yes; when doing a bent-over row, no.
