Hi, guys.
Just how i see all this things.
I think you are somehow overacting. Yes you're right and they're wrong in all that stuff. They could be over-emphasicing the importance of having the weight forward. But, in S&T;, just like in 5SK, there isn't just an isolated principle, they are relative to others, in a system. And, acording to S&T;, you want your weight forward, but you also want your head still. There are S&T; spectrums everywhere (see the book) where they show a player with too much weight on the left and with his head falling to the target. Obviously, you can see a big "no" under that player.
So it is not: "stack and tilt is wrong" but "stack and tilt had some wrong data that a player on his own could missunderstand". Just like any mid handicap could get wrong any system working on his own.
In the end, i see same principles with some variations. And again, i think you're overacting trying to find your own place, and forcing a public break between the two camps.
