Alignment, ball position, etc.

I was recently told by a playing partner that my left shoulder should never be higher than my right.  I know this is incorrect but since he insisted, I did a little googling and came across the following article: http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/AddressSetup.htm

It seems fairly comprehensive and from what I can tell, is fairly accurate so I figured I'd share.

For a righty not playing crosshand, your right hand will be lower than your left.  If you assume you aren't bending the left arm to level out your shoulders, your left shoulder would naturally sit higher than your right.  Generally the left arm is straight but relaxed at address and often tucked in slightly.  This issue, I believe is secondary to whether the shoulders turn on a plane or not.
