Now, Chief, if TT taught Delayed Hip Action, his hips would lead the downswing. The hips trail the shoulders on the backswing and LEAD on the downswing.

Wouldn't it be the case that TT could have taught Delayed Hip Action, AND still maintained that the action of the right forearm initiates the downswing (hip slide a response to the right forearm)? Per 7-15, hip action only deals with leading and pulling the shoulders back and down. This doesn't speak to the overall initiation of the downswing - just the hip shoulder relationship.
The hip slide certainly could lead the downswing over the hands/right forearm, but aren't you giving up precision? How do you know how much slide is enough? With all out concentration on the hands' relationship to the desired plane line (and letting the body respond), there is precision. (slide or bump the amount needed to maintain the correct hand/forearm relationship to the plane line).
