It is the uncentered Clubface Motion of Angled Hinging that causes the Slicing tendency. This uncentered motion causes the Clubface to go from Closed to Open relative to the Clubhead line of flight.
How can the clubface be going from closed to open if it is to be both laid back and closing? If it is closing, then it has to start from an open position. The paddleboat reference that Homer refers to would also suggest a closing of the clubface as it gets closer to impact.
I guess it would be possible to do if the ball position was further back than normal in the stance not giving the clubface time to close all the way before impact but there would be no way to lay the club back and add loft to the shot from that position.
