Bucket,
I was down in my garage looking for my old spikes- but couldn't find them- so I'm back reading the posts for the next best alternative. Great topic and a common one in regards to traveling the road to understanding the Golfing Machine- so I loved all the questions and all the feedback was equally good. Just an additional quick comment that may add to the thread- the purpose for level is that it is the alignment that allows the greatest support for impact and applying force. If you push on a wall with your right hand, you'll probably find "level".

Anotherwords, if you line up 1) the #3 pressure point, 2) the #1 pressure point, and 3) the right forearm, you'll find what level is and why it's important- the integration of the physics and geometry or more precisely - the geometry is a result of the required physics. By "lining up" in this context I mean turn your right palm facing your face and line up the three items above and you'll have "level" and the greatest support for impact. You can always apply it to your golf swing later, after understanding the concept.

Certainly, another issue that's alot easier to nail down in person but still very do able over the internet.
