I see 2-M-3 as more relevant to either Swinging or 4 Barrel Hitting. I believe the reference to PP#4 is correct.
I'm interesting in hearing thoughts from others on both parts of your question. I'm working so hard at trying to effectively learn hitting, that I haven't thought about swinging procedures in depth, but I know to become a complete teacher I will need to soon. I don't think there are many MASTERS of both as YODA is...

EDIT: My comment about the reference was incorrect. Thank you for setting me straight Drew!

BUT 2-m-3 paragraph #1 , last two sentences.
"-to pivot thrust add a strong Pressure Point #4 thrust per 10-19-c. Or to Power Package thrust add the shoulder turn per 2-m-4"
Is that correct, or should the first sentence say PP #1 not PP #4?
You are correct. The misprint was corrected in the seventh edition. It is only recommended when maximum power is needed, you can stand the risk and you don't have a longer club to go to (the driver).
While you only have to learn one pattern, the more skilled player will need to understand the minor differences. That being said, the mechanic of your stroke should produce a feel, the feel will reproduce your motion. That is the important point. Ingrain the "FEEL" into you motion so that its subconscious programming can automatically create the motion without conscious thought. Most players never develop these feels (controls), never develop the total feel (sensation) of the motion to the point where the ball and all other distractions become inconsequential.
