I like that thinking, switching/moving;
because you can still go through the square stance position but you are only doing it when it counts and thats when you have two hands against someone elses one hand.
You can only get to that position on the outside and fastest way there is the switch as you go under or as you go around a lead arm and then you can get off two hands around that one hand for just a moment and with the power of weight transferance as your feet go through.

Willie Pep used to go up the outside with two arms in his day on a switch,not many do that nowadays though.Most people switch for no reason whatso ever and wonder why it doesnt work out 50% of the time.
