Not just FLW

The COG of the clubhead will line up with the left shoulder when the club is at bottom of swing - right?

If, whilst holding your club, somebody were to grab the sweetspot between finger and thumb and stretch out the club and arm so that they form a taut straight line... then observe the left wrist condition....isn't the appearance of the left wrist in this condition FLAT ?

It is the longitudinal direction of pull that is undeniable and the force controls the appearance of the left wrist.... does FLW 'happen' if we let it ...or should we actively 'hold' it flat??

Simulating the forces in a correct swing might be a better way of describing the appearance of the left wrist...especially to newcomers??

Thanks for any thoughts...
"does FLW 'happen' if we let it"
Not just FLW, all the other "Essentials" and "Imperatives" do, if the "Lag" has been sustained.

You sustain the lag, during which the "Law" takes care of the rest, all of them.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
