Ball Location Relationships -- Left Shoulder/Left Foot/ Right Foot

Loved your post, tradekid. The 'between the lines' not-so-sentimental journey was just too much!
On the technical side, with the Ball Position constant in relation to the Left Heel, you are absolutely right that the movement of the Right Foot determines the ultimate Ball Location. However, with the the Head remaining Centered between the Feet, then, as the Stance widens, the Ball Position will change markedly in relation to the Left Shoulder. Step 'wide right' and let your Head (and Left Shoulder) go with you, and you will see exactly what I mean.
So...
With Head centered between the Feet (or nearly so), the closer the Right Foot is to the Left Heel -- narrow Stance -- the more the Left Shoulder is positioned 'forward' (and therefore, the more the Ball is positioned 'back'). And vice versa: As the Right Foot moves away from the Left Heel --wider Stance -- the Centered Head and Left Shoulder also move 'back,' effectively positioning the Ball further 'forward.'
There must be a huge application of ball position and its effects on plane line and plane angle shifts. Meaning, the further back the ball is played the more up-plane it is, so the clubhead will move Down and OUT more to low point. OVER TIME (maybe a long time) wouldn't a ball position well back of low point shift possibly a turned shoulder plane angle to more of an elbow plane angle. Closer to low point would do the opposite.
