I tend to agree with you. However in the DVD the emphasis related to TGM was only mentioning the #1 and # 4 accumulators and a emphasis on maintaing the right arm wedge. The swing was compact and not coming above the top in the backswing and both arms were to be connected throughout the swing which I believe leaves you in a punch position. In addition it was clear in their dvd that the swing was a angle hinge and did not have horizontal hinging (if you do it you will hook it off the course) even though it was a draw pattern because the path was a inside to outside swing path.
My opinion based on some recent rumours floating around is that there is a overlap between swinging and hitting between all players to some degrees since both swings are down in a circular path and most golfers hold the club in both hands. Also the concepts that angle hinging creates a fade is not necessarily true since the clubface at impact is going to determine the starting direction and the path the curvature.
I know these statements might create some controversy but modern science and highspeed photography are showing things are not necessarily as they thought and at the last TGM summit a lot of these subjects came to light.
I do still believe this does not undermine the excellent teaching that exists on this forum it just opens other options on ways to successfully hit a golf ball. Homer opened in his book the countless way the swing or hit can be done and the Stack and Tilt just provides another option. Incidentally the authors P & B just demonstrate the pattern and never use the distinction of hitting or swinging.
If you need furthur clarification you would need to look at the P & B videos or dicuss the subject on Orr's forum or others who have more direct insight on S&T. Yoda did some talking with P & B and maybe he has more information to provide.

I don't believe all Stack and Tilt player's are hitters in fact I believe many are swingers.
