Well, you contradict yourself, you agree but then you have a different IF. Picture a RHP who picks up left leg and dips knee across the back side of rubber but not foot. Left shoulder will likely dip slightly toward home. Is this a lean? It was closer than it was prior to picking up the foot. I can picture a LHP doing same thing with opposite foot.
