Is it true that narrow stance (relatively) transfer weight better than a wider stance?

A more narrow stance makes it easier to turn in both directions and most people are not flexible or athletic enough to use a wide stance and get 'full participation' from the pivot.

A good 'swing' keeps you in balance, regardless of how wide the stance is. Using a wider stance to fix a balance problem is a band-aid in my opinion.
