I agree on the terminology. I usually refer to the positions as "stick" and "strings". And I do think the stringer has more of an opportunity to see shifts, tactics, call laylines, and other items of importance for the stick

On the other hand, I think it is important that the stick see the wind and figure out how best to get there. If the stick spends all day chasing the telltales, I don't think that's quite as fast.

It's always good to step back and take another "big picture" look at how you're doing something to see how you can improve it....
