john, "the guy" just happens to be yours truly, what a coincidence... now you that you know what a handsome little devil i am...
i know what you are getting at... wait till you get a load of the zhuan in 灵猿摘果 (Agile Ape Picks Fruit) or 里猫扑蝶 (Civet Cat Lunge At Butterfly)...; then you and rd will be all over me heh.
allow me to refer you to the 5CS:- ...两手轻轻起 曲伸无断续 转移有曲折 形似游龙析*...
2 arms raise up lightly
bending or extending have no breaks nor continuation
in turning and shifting there are curves and kinks
looking like a swimming dragon frolic (last character is wrong- somehow i just cannot find in my computer)
while there may be some spiral motion in the movements, i believe that the 5CS takes a more macro view at the overall quality of the practitioner doing the form, and does not concentrate so much on the smaller arm movements (though surely detailed for begin learners).
perhaps, Li Dong Feng knows whats gonna happen when we get too deep into this type of discussion: the intention and shen automatically take a back seat; and these are the stuff that ima are suppose to be concentrating on in the first place.

there's still quite a bit more to go before the 2nd part, that begins with wind swaying lotus
just what i think, thanks:)
