So what part do you disagree with?

More nonsense. The rear lower back is the axis of rotation how so? And again you are promoting waist separation.
The tilt of the hip creates the side bend.
The more you resist rotation of the torso the more you will laterally bend.
In language that you can relate to .... the arch of the lower back is accomplished by the augering of the rear leg in the hip joint as the upper body resists it. That is basically how someone like you would attempt to go about creating the separation that occurs.
FFS,
You posted a few clips awhile back. One of a guy doing a lateral side bend, and another of a girl using a cable and performing a rotation. The combination of them is not what I consider lateral tilt

Your descriptions don't make me think you understand what Spartans and I are talking about.
Perhaps if TM used the words below then it would make more sense to you.
The arch of the lower back (of the bow/arch/bow) is not done by the chest. It is done by the augering of the rear leg in the hip joint as the upper body resists it. That is how and where the separation occurs.
I understand completely. I'm not the one talking about lateral bend and the axis of the swing being the rear lower back.
To be clear, the initial axis of rotation is the rear lower back. The axis of rotation flows forward ... and yes, around the rear forearm and released around the hands.
What I don't hear in your description of forearm rotation is the importance of the lead side pulling during that time. That is a significant part of the swing, that ultimately plays a big role in not widening the axis too quickly and determining the direction of the release/throw/swing.
The lateral-bend/lateral-tilt is there ... readily evident to those who see it. Also an important portion of the swing.
