A good sitting posture

I take it that's a no then?  In the meantime here's a horse's head I came across:

And your point is what? Are you going to follow this up with an unexplained diagram showing a whale? How about a diagram of a human head? Are you imagining that Alexander technique was aimed at horses? Funnily enough, horses and humans evolved somehwat differently. Humans evolved with upright spines and do not have muscles as strong as horses. Human neck muscles could never come close to routinely supporting such a load.

As I said in my last post, I've explained the centre of gravity issue. If you do not understand GCSE physics, you'll need to go and research it.

GSCE Physics?  As far as you got I'm guessing! It's actually some anatomical knowledge you may find more useful.

Anatomical knowledge about a horse is more useful? What you don't seem to understand is that anatomical knowledge is woefully incomplete unless referenced to physics. It's not anatomy that determines how much larger the balancing force is when a centre of gravity is displaced. Anatomy means little unless cross-referenced with the physics of a situation. Just try playing the piano upside down, or doing a limbo dance. How you line align your anatomy in the field of gravity is a massive issue.

Anyway, I'm not going to fuel any more trolling, unless you have a point to make. Anyone who thinks a diagram of a horse or a pulley has any bearing on the accuracy of Alexander technique doesn't exactly need anyone to expose their ignorance.

'woefully incomplete'??  That's crazy talk!

So go and use your knowledge of anatomy to perform a limbo dance. See how far it takes you. If you'd like to look up the concept of a "centre of gravity", you'll learn why you'll immediately fall flat on your arse.

So now limbo dancers need GCSE Physics?   Have you any idea how crazy that sounds?

We're not talking about whether anyone needs physics. We're talking about the unavoidable bearing of physics on the nature of balance. Have you forgotten that this was about the fact that certain alignments require substantially greater balancing efforts than others? You scoffed at this concept, due to your ignorance about physics. If you had some inquisitiveness (rather than the deluded belief that you're an expert in all by default) you'd have gone out and learned enough to know that the reason limbo dancing is extremely difficult is due to the positioning of the centre of gravity.

Anyway, by all means come back with what you doubtless believe to be some hilarious quip worthy of Oscar Wilde (or some lazy "trolling", as others will view it) . if you have no interest in thinking about the subject, I have no interest in discussing it with you.

I'm done.

We live in hope!

Jeez!  I'm flattered.

Is all this helping anyone, or just confusing everyone?

That's crazy talk!
