I will try to use an analogy, hopefully it won't be a bad one. This is a serious question and I do not know the answer to it.

In the discussion of which procedure is longer, hitting or swinging, let's assume one thinks that swinging is longer than hitting:

Swinging is like a Porsche and Hitting is like a VW Bug. You take both cars out on a grand prix track and race. You can put the same expert driver in both cars and have him execute perfect driving skills around the track - but the Porsche will always be faster.

I'm wondering if both procedures are like Porsche's? And it's just a matter of applying them in an expert-like fashion?

What do you guys think?
