Whether or not it's a part of his speaking or thinking, it's a 
consequence of his set-up.

I agree fully. Now that David has provided us with a comprehensive 
language for describing the arrangement of weight and leverage, we 
have standard descriptions which can be correlated to the subjective 
descriptions of pianists.

I'm well aware of your explorations on this matter, and very much in 
favor of such the Grand Unification you seek. For the time being, 
although David's weight-based leverage measurements may not be toeing 
the line with all the other puppies at obedience school (and may have 
a few more fleas), when it comes to setting up an action, I'll stick 
with a weight-based puppy.

I've engaged a personal trainer who comes in on Wednesday evenings 
for just that. When it comes to getting slapped around, bricks & 
mortar beat out cyber-text any day. <g>
