so if 3-d machines and testing is done accurately and the cesar is proven correct on kinetic chain snap would you still believe homer or would you believe cesar?

"if 3-d machines and testing is done accurately" is your first leap of faith. Additionally, you're not including one of the most important aspects of the testing...reading the data!!!!! Even the great people at TPI admit that they can't tell you when muscles are firing or what muscles are firing. I've also heard all the hyperbole from the self-proclaimed geniuses that don't visit this site, but they still want you to take them seriously. Conclusions from the data are often reached without logical reasoning and without considering the (Newtonian) physics found in Chapter 2:

"Force and Motion Vectors must comply with Newton’s first three laws;
The Law of Inertia: Newton’s First Law. There is no change in the motion of a body unless a resultant force is acting upon it.
Force and Acceleration: Newton’s Second Law. Whenever a net (unbalanced) force acts on a body, it produces an acceleration in the direction of the force, an acceleration that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
Reacting Forces: Newton’s Third Law. For every acting force there is a reacting force that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction."

"would you still believe homer or would you believe cesar?" Here you are questioning my ability to reason. Firstly, I base my teaching on the laws of geometry and physics. Secondly, I use the book (TGM), Lynn, Homer's audio tapes, and other scientific studies as reference materials.

So, am I the more reasonable person for having the cornerstones of my teaching being laws of force and motion?

Or, would it be more reasonable for me to blindly follow a talking head with data in his hand?

I never believe anything because someone says that it's so. I've heard plenty of if-then statements that don't make sense, even though there was "supporting" data.

P.S. It's always wise to check the sights on your pistol before firing.
