Since the arms can be moved from the shoulder sockets without the trunk rotating, it doesn't mean the body will necessarily respond to the hands when first learning the golf swing.
..................
The trunk is not rotating (or being felt doing nothing) does not necessarily mean it's not doing anything. It appears (to the observor) the body is motionless and doing nothing when pushing against a wall (static muscle contraction).
See for yourself by moving the (lagged) arms "without the trunk rotating" while standing on the ground vs. a rotary chair.

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

bts,
What EdStraker is referring to here is the arms moving across the chest (from their point of origin, the shoulders) with no rotary motion of the trunk.
Remember, the shoulders are a dual agent, being part of both the Power Package and the Pivot. Therefore, arm induced shoulder motion does not necessarily mean the Pivot is involved. 7-13
