He doesn't poo-poo it, he qualifies it with "If you don't have to have sidespin..." Sounds like good advice to me.

i think those of you that criticized my post somewhat misunderstood my intent
as a premise to not use english to make a ball but only for position is a great principle
i was only pointing out a common use of english that is well accepted when pocketing balls
and wondered whether he would say you should not use it.
if you notice i posted as a question
"But would he ever say that using gearing sidespin (English,) for example, to minimize cut induced throw should never be used to help you make a ball?"
i was not advocating using it all the time

Not sure why he poo-poos the concept of throwing the balls using sidespin.

I went to my local eye doctor and got a prescription for reading and distance bifocal (and bought eyeglasses). I then used that Rx to order the Curran eyeglasses from the web. I also sent a picture of my stance on the pool table to him.

I think it is nonsense what he is claiming as far as spin throwing in balls.
