I would hope that you can already consistently deadlift with your spine in a non-horrendous position. The hands-on-thighs thing is just for teaching people to bend at the hips and keep their chest up, rather than collapse their spine to bend over. If you've already got good technique, I wouldn't expect you from getting anything out of that tip.
I guess I just appreciated his explanation of the variations of the deadlift. Because I've often found myself wondering whether I'm doing it 'right' (e.g. because I've felt like I'm basically doing a squat) and it turns that it's just a low-hip version of the movement.
When you get up to serious weight you will naturally find your best form. Never seen a guy pull a max weight with low hips, you just cant hold that position because the scaps need to be over the bar. As long as hand and foot placement are right and uou can get tight the rest should follow suit

Exactly, so worrying about where your hips are is pretty silly
I stll dont think ive seen anyone pull conventionally raw with what is considered low hips

Too busy staring at fractals. Watch some lifting, you'll learn something.
Why worry about leverages?? Yes, when there is pizza to be eaten dude, why worry? Just do whatever.
