Alignments Vs. Positions
What is the difference between alingments and positions? Aren't alingments actually positions too?
I may just be missing the precived image by TGM. Can someone explain the difference?

It's better to achieve "Positions" through "Alignments" than "Alignments" through "Positions". If "Alignments" change, then "Positions" change. The reverse is not true.

Once I set my machine, I just try to put it in motion. Indeed, I Align my Machine and move it through the ball.

The assertion is correct but the supporting argument is incorrect.
You can't state that if alignments change, positions change but if positions change, alignments don't change. How can something be linked one way but not the other?

An alignment describes the relationship of more than one position to a standard of measurement. An alignment takes into account a certain context - the measurement of more than one position in relation to the same standard - maintaining the same relatonship to that standard. When creating the concept for a position one doesn't take into account more than one position and therefore doesn't try to relate two positions (motion) to a common standard of measurement.
To see an alignment as a position you have to drop, forget, ignore the "context" i.e. the standard of measurement being used and the constant relationship to that standard.

Positions are a player's means of executing pre-selected, precision alignments. To that end, alignments require positions.
However, a given 'position' can be executed perfectly -- for example, left elbow down, right elbow in, right arm L-position at the top, roll the wrists through the ball, full shoulder turn, etc. -- and yet the player still can miss the ball.
