To a certain extent, one might argue this is a chicken/egg type question.
The Flying Wedges concept is absolutely a key, fundamental concept in TGM. Perhaps one of the single biggest 'simplifications', especially when combined with the concept of extensor action and proper wrist/hand positions in 5-0. A true "short course" in learning.
That said, you can obtain the imperatives without maintaining both wedges. One of the areas that I think determine hitter vs swinger trends in a given player is the degree to which their motion is more left wedge, or right wedge.
Remember, Homer didn't 'recommend' any particular pattern as being better than any other "except on the basis of mechanical advantage". Maintaining BOTH wedges, is certainly more of a mechanical advantage than only maintaining one.
I can understand mb6606’s desire to eliminate the gray areas between ‘imperative’, ‘mandatory’ or any degrees of mandatory. Many of us find it easier to think in black or white rather than degrees of black or white.
You say, “…you can obtain the imperatives without maintaining both wedges. One of the areas that I think determine hitter vs swinger trends in a given player is the degree to which their motion is more left wedge, or right wedge.”
Are any components of the precision assembly and alignment of the Power Package basic structure, that Homer considers mandatory for Hitting or Swinging, altered to obtain these ‘degrees’ if not what is exactly?

The Swinger uses the Pivot to "Throw Out" the Left Arm Flying Wedge. The Hitter uses the Right Triceps to "Drive Out" the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
These are the Left Forearm and Right Forearm "versions" of 6-B-3-0.

Thanks Yoda I can appreciate the distinction you are making but Edz said ‘you can obtain the imperatives without maintaining both wedges’. Must both wedges be maintained or only one?

Ideally, both are maintained for the most efficient impact support.
The point was that you 'could' obtain the imperatives (and not keep both wedges) and still hit a good shot (left hand only, right hand only as the extreme examples) - just not as well supported as if you had both wedges in place. The alignments are the same for the wedges, hitting or swinging, but how they are moved is different.

Edz I believe you have explained that well and 6-B-3-0-1 needs amendment to incorporate that explanation. Ideally and mandatory have different connotations.
