While number 4 in my list can't be directly cured by the GD, the other 3 certainly are. I began teaching the GD when I was the UIC of my association and in charge of training very young and very inexperieced umpires. They were taught the H/T and many just didn't grasp it. They didn't have the intense instruction that the DC or other professional camps give.

Those problems can arise in any stance. GD, by itself, cures nothing. I've seen worse in some misusing the GD stance.
The key is proper instruction and proper execution of either stance. If you feel more comfortable teaching the GD stance, that's fine.
