Here is what we are 100% in agreement on (very important)...
Homer Kelley gave us TWO very important gifts:
1. A SYSTEM that explains ALL methods.
&
2. Homer's preferences (method).
Two patterns that are as close to ideal as is possible, PLUS ideas like the tripod and right forearm pickup, that would allow you the best chance to perform these patterns.
IDEAL? What Homer meant by ideal was this: Best place to START for a hitter or a swinger, while also being MOST interchangeable. Also most GEOMETRICALLY sound. Not longest hitting or best performance (that would be the four-barrel pattern from the 3rd edition). Just two patterns that Homer felt COULD BE DONE BY MOST GOLFERS easily and THEN customize.
So, where does this leave us with our "pivot center" debate?
