Well, I think I am probably using the root of the tongue which is so
far back, it feels like the throat. I do feel i get superior tone
this way. Among other things, it allows me to keep my tongue low in
my mouth for a larger unobstructed oral resonance chamber.
I do not question the validity of your technique, though. i just
prefer the depth of tone i get by not using my tongue.

they are using the throat are bundling that idea along with the
tongue position, thereby complicating the concept for themselves. As
I've stated before, rethinking/relearning may alleviate this confusion.
it doesn't help those of us that don't use the tongue to bend.
