In a book full of information, which of these is described using the word "magic"

That tells me Homer's view, or it is certainly a big indicator of the likely answer from him.

Many goodies to choose from, hmmmmmmmmmm. In Ben Doyles video there is a phrase he repeats time after time after time and i'm going to guess that way. Great question this one.

I'm going with #5. Getting in a good position to execute a hinge action requires 1, 2, 3, and 4.

I'm on number 2. In his video Doyle never stops repeating about the mind in the hands, and he delt with Homer firsthand a lot. Only a guess tho. Homer is also very partial to the hands controlled pivot, the hands, the hands. If the hands go to all the right places and do the right things..........the body will follow. Yoda has me intrigued now lol

Assuming #3 is a direct Homer quote, it reveals his own choice.
