For example you cant actually break your ankle or wrist, only dislocate them as these are joints
Most people with a broken arm actually have a fractured forearm (a fracture and break are the same). The arm runs from shoulder to elbow but is often imprescisely used to refere to the whole upper limb.
Likewise the leg is often used when one really means lower limb as the leg runs from knee to ankle only.
So while it may seen obvious often there are precise meanings for certain terms in common use. I am often told someone has dislocated their knee ( which carries the risk of amputation) when in fact they have dislocated their patella, a much lesser injury.
Anyway I think precision and definition in terms leads to better understanding.
Just my 2 cents worth

I appreciate your two cents, but it is worth much more than that.
Additionally, with regard to one of the previous posts, I've know Lynn long enough to know that he's one of THE MOST intelligent men that I know. Those with which you select to surround yourself can either make you or break you. Lynn is one that I'm PROUD to have around me. I have been confronted by a fellow (PGA) professional that warned me about Lynn's ego. Whether because of jealousy or a feeling of inferiority, I was told to be careful with our association. I laughed out loud and said, it ain't boasting if you know it and can teach it. All of which, Lynn Blake can do. It's funny that knowledge can be mistaken for ego. If you have truth and are willing to boldly share it with no reservation, I guess it's threatening to some. I was also told by another fellow (PGA) professional that I was a little too forward in the way I presented this information. Or, that it could be seen as a threat to others that didn't use the same system. To that, I offer no apology. If they meant I was getting a little too much like Lynn, I am grateful for the comparison and compliment. This conversation DID NOT involve Brian Manzella, so don't let any rumors get started. But, my final point is that anyone choosing to have a disagreement with Lynn Blake about TGM better have their ducks in a row. You better be prepared or you'll lose. Lynn is not a god without fault, but he is THE AUTHORITY of this subject matter.
