This is not a one-dimensional equation.

For instance if you stretch your limbs too far you are easily moved off the centerline.

Or if you run away from the centerline (side step), you will never have a point of reference to begin with.
What is too far away? When you strike your arms have to be stretched. You need follow through for an effective strike. You can't kick a field goal or a tennis serve without follow through. If you side step you won't have a point of reference????
The wooden dummy has many side steps. If a train is coming get off the tracks. People should spar more. Then the theories will be proven or disproved.
