This seemed an important uninetended consequence and I found reference to it in Joe Norwood's book Golf-o-Metrics, specifically concerning Ben Hogan's left arm. Thanks for the corrective insight.
The left arms appears to be longer because it is kept straight by the right arm. EA is NOT keeping the left arm straight like that old adage-"keep the left arm straight" Homer discovered that what appears to be one thing is really caused by another. Others stopped at outward appearances as truth. (not talking about Norwood but those that adhere to the straight arm thing)

Right arm- extensor action force (physics). Left arm- a lever & pendulum (structure- geometry) And remember 20% of the stroke checklist is Extensor Action. See the video "Homer's greatest Hits"
