Marc, It is very easy to criticise other people's technique and by doing this, we find better ways of doing things.
There are plenty of people out there who you might think are idiots but that's life, it is up to us to use our knowledge as professionals to try and improve others methods in anyway we can, even with limitations. I would hate to see a young arborist hurt because i was too worried to question what he was doing.
I agree in that every tree, every situation is different and sometimes a straight top cut may be the best cut. In the photos you have seen i could not agree though. You say your self
