The pics of Faldo, Nelson, Price, Garcia and Trevino at http://www.golfbetterproductions.com/comparison.asp show that the right forearm and clubshaft are on the same plane which, in turn, is below the plane of the ball ("the clubshaft points outside the ball, not at it"), presumeably so that the sweetspot is on plane with the ball. Am I reading this correctly?

I believe Mac O'Grady is one of the few tour players whose right arm is exatly on the plane at this stage. Some are close...Nick Price. Others get on there a little later. The camera angle, of course, has to be exactly right to get a true picture of this.
Ideally, the forearm, is pointing to the baseline. I believe several factors (waist bend etc.)have to be there for this to happen.
The right forearm is only on the inclined plane at the exact point of impact.....
The right forearm is below the inclined plane at the top of the backstroke....
The right forearm is above the inclined plane at followthrough....
Therefore, The right forearm has a crossline motion through impact....
Therefore, The right forearm and clubshaft (or more accurately the LCOG) will not both be on the inclined plane (the LCOG will but the forearm won't) at the point that those pictures show. They are onplane relative to their own plane, the plane of the right wrist bend - the right flying wedge...

An expansion upon the points raised here could lead to a lot of understand of the principles of the Golfing Machine.

I think we may be mixing stuff up a little here. The Right Forearm and Clubshaft should be IN THE SAME PLANE to maintain the Right Forearm Flying Wedge alignment . . . . but only on the INCLINED PLANE when the Right Elbow is On-Plane (I think?).
MOTION All the action of the Golf Club takes place on a flat, inflexible, Inclined Plane, which extends well beyond the circumference of the stroke – in every direction. The full length of the Clubshaft remains unwaveringly on the face of this Inclined Plane – Waggle to Follow-through.
