Bom your description is well written and I can easily visualize what you are trying to say. Very interesting, and it seems to make sense.
Correct,
If the chicken wing is used properly, it more than has validity.
What many hackers do, is stall the pivot, and bend the elbow in an attempt to create false power.
If the arm is bent because it is resisting CF that is being created by pivot rotation, then that can work well.
