contents The isospin splitting of the Dirac mass obtained with the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF) theory is thoroughly investigated. From the perspective in the full Dirac space, the long-standing controversy between the momentum-independence approximation (MIA) method and the projection method on the isospin splitting of the Dirac mass in asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) is analyzed in detail. We find that, the \textit{assumption procedure} of the MIA method, which assumes that the single-particle potentials are momentum independent, is not a sufficient condition that directly leads to the wrong sign of the isospin splitting of the Dirac mass, while the \textit{extraction procedure} of the MIA method, which extracts the single-particle potentials from the single-particle potential energy, leads to the wrong sign. By approximately solving the set of equations involved in the \textit{extraction procedure}, a formal expression of the Dirac mass is obtained. The wrong isospin splitting of the Dirac mass is mainly caused by that the \textit{extraction procedure} forcely assumes the momentum dependence of the single-particle potential energy to be a quadratic form where the strength is solely determined by the constant scalar potential.
