No, that's not nit picking. That's attempting to stay within the 
physical facts. I understand exactly what he's talking about with the 
technique because I discovered it for myself and have been using it to 
some degree for 30 years. My only argument with him is the mistaken 
claim that he's not exceeding the final tension in the first string 
segment by using the technique. He most certainly is for the reason we 
have both now stated.
