That's not how I read it, and obviously that's indeed
mistaken (at least in general, unless you have what *I*
define as a locked frame - a frame which does indeed
force leader and follower to move weight only in unison).

There are even steps where leader and follower are in
movement and coutermovement (though these tend to
be harder in apilado, they're not entirely impossible
there: even in that frame the angle between shoulder lines
of leader and follower isn't necessarily fixed, and
the leader can do all sorts of body movements that
dissociate his lower body from his upper).
