Read Homer's own words from 10-19-0 - "Hinge Action does NOT differentiate Hitting and Swinging." Those caps are Homer's not mine. Do you believe that he would have said that were it "nonsensical"?
The next sentence in 10-19-0 states: "All are interchangeable-with reservations." He then warns hitters and swingers about the tendency to natrually revert back to angled and horizontal hinging, respectively. And says:

"Both procedures require skill in Clubface manipulation per 7-2."

So I read this to say, you can horizontal hinge AND hit, but it takes conscious clubface manipulation to do it successfully. The same applies to swingers using angled hinging.
I'm with you Trigolt.
The words that scream at me are 'maipulation' and 'with reservations.'
Homer used the word 'true' to describe 'true hitters' using angled hinging and ' true swingers' using horizontal hinging. Does that make a hitter using horizontal hinging a "false" hitter?
I just thought that I'd add a little TNT to the fire...
