A big key in your findings is the fact that you are putting on carpet.
Float loading is very hard to control pace on fast greens.

Embarrassed to admit it, but I suspect my carpet has a higher Stimp than our greens But I can certainly see your point, actually that is the thing that has me worried about the stroke. Unfortunately the pop is intoxicating.

Are you saying that Inman used float loading in his putting stroke?
The likes of Palmer, Nicklaus and Player all had distinct hand action, but in those days they putted on much slower greens (around 7?) and that is sort of average here in Sweden (just ask Amen Corner). What was the speed at Augusta when Inman played?

Yes, he did. But, once his left wrist became Flat, it remained that way through Impact.
John played twice at Augusta, once as the NCAA Champ (old rules) then once as a PGA Tour Champ. I'm sure the greens were extremely fast.
I'm very conscious of maintaining my flat left wrist. I think the float loading may actually help doing that, with the bend in the right wrist during the forward stroke I feel very confident that I will have that left wrist flatter than a pre-augmented porn star. Probably boosts the mental approach.

The "boss of the moss" does this too I think. A "hinge and hold" in non TGM terms. You can feel some nice lag and drag doing this but there is perhaps a geometric price to be paid unless you get it back to fix perfectly each time.
This is a slight bend of the right wrist as opposed to the cock of the left wrist isnt it Luke? Sort of like going from adjusted to fix or impact hands in a lagging takeaway? Where as "float loading" is more a loading of the power accumulators (of which the right wrist is not) in start down?
I guess you could have a putt at St Andrews of a hundred yards or so where you would need to add power accumulators and have a weight shift or perhaps some #2?
Or on the other hand maybe I have things all messed up again.
