It's been 24 years since I learned of the coming change of Hinge Action from Zone#3 to #2. And I had the feeling of - "What - how could he do that!!!"- because it does really create a mental shuffle for you and everything that you've learned. I asked "Why would he do that?" And the answer that I got was "You see- everybody thinks that hinge action is something you do with your hands- and IT'S NOT!" Hence, the categorization change to move it into a category that better categorizes the component in relation to the procedural nature of the movement.
