The question I would like to pose here and - I have asked this before; would it not be infinitely easier to drive a car that has an engine in good condition?

Yes.
Per 6-G: Educated Hands can compensate for Off Line Hip and Shoulder Motion but only up to a point.
As an aside...
When you're about to crash would you rather have your feet on the gas pedal or your hands on the steering wheel?

I will have both feet to the brakes and make sure the hands are firmly on the steering to counter any skidding that arises from slamming the brakes...

I wish all ya'll (plural for ya'll) would stop talking about crashing. It's giving me the heebie-jeebies. I've read this awesome book called The Golfing Machine, written by Homer Kelley. Maybe, you've heard of it. Stick to the machine concept found in 1-L and you can avoid crashing.

Blame me for igniting this discussion Ted. Lets change gears and get back on topic.

I'll give you a little drill to support the proper positioning for the use of a Snap Release. Place your left hand in front of your body and place it palm to plane (as in a start-up swivel). A start-up swivel is preparation for the use of a release swivel. "As it goes up, so it tends to come down."
With your left hand palm to plane, place your right forearm flying wedge under and against the left. When you're palm to palm, notice the position of the right elbow. You are in Pitch. Instead of trying to change the elbow, try to keep your left hand palm to plane longer. In fact, take the 'karate chop' past your line of sight to the ball. It's a maximum trigger delay.
P.S. Don't tell anybody I talked about swinging. I'll be ostracized from the hitters emergency room.

This is how you get out of "perverted pitch"....outstanding Ted....Notice how the elbow has a relationship to the behavior of the #3 Accumulator...Therefore one can conclude that one's wrist action, hinge action, arm motiona and elbow location...although seperate to themselves have to be coordinated....Children need to learn to play together.....
