Totally agree RFT for me too. It makes the pivots contribution just right, neither too much , nor too little . You know just like reaching for something. We Hands to Pivot hundreds , maybe thousands of times a day. We send our hands to their target (almost subconsciously but not quite. Try reaching for something with your eyes closed and see how our awareness of the hands becomes extreme ) , with no or very little thought to the body motion required, it just happens (under normal situations... if you had to jump to reach something you'd probably give it some thought. Like an outfielder grabbing a home run off the top of the wall, he probably thought about that jump). In golf the Pivot's , Zone 1, contribution is critically important and must correct. Homer called it Zone 1 after all. The foundation of the swing , balance etc, the creator of golfs basic rotational forces, cf as Homer put it. But the shot at hand may not require any pivot at all , or it may require a full pivot. Also similar to reaching for things. You may have to bend over and turn your shoulder or maybe its entirely an arm motion ... it depends. Either way the brain is sending the hands to their target and the body is contributing only as much as is necessary. We're wired that way . Why not make golf similar? We do so in every other sports motion I can think of... somehow we golfers get to manipulating all kinds of weird stuff in our quest to control that crazy little white ball.
