I find your explanation very credible. It makes much more sense than the idea proposed by the proponents of a "right arm throw action" who claim that Hogan actively used his right arm in a karate-chop action, which started at the very beginning of the downswing.

In fact, I would imagine that an active right arm throw action, which occurs out-of-sequence at the very start of the downswing, could predispose to clubhead throwaway and a premature loss of that "feeling" of lag pressure at the PP#3 point. I presume that when you state "stiff-wristed right forearm slap" that you are not implying an active release of power accumulator #1 (due to an isotonic contraction of the right triceps muscle), but rather a well-sequenced release of power accumulator #4, and then PA #2, synchronously combined with the optimum amount of isometric contraction of the right arm/forearm muscles that allows a golfer to sustain the lag.
