Unless Robert has come up with a radical new variant of this (which  
he may have, he has certainly become a master of the technique) then  
I don't know why you would label tongue-switching or corner-switching  
as "Robert Bonfiglio's corner switching technique".  Larry Adler,  
amongst others, was known to have used tongue switching and it has  
been a regular feature of the classical tradition for decades, since  
before Robert was born.

He does it wonderfully, but that doesn't make it any more his  
technique than chord vamping with occasional whoops could be called  
"Madcat's whooping/chord technique".
