Consider these two swing videos of Chuck Evans teaching certain TGM principles.

The yellow line represents the alternate target line, and the sweetspot stays on that line in the takeaway. Eventually, the sweetspot rotates clockwise due to the takeaway swivel action, and the sweetspot plane and clubshaft plane become one during the mid-backswing. In the downswing, the sweetspot rotates counterclockwise after it passes the 3rd parallel so that the sweetspot can impact the ball at impact. That gives rise to the idea that a golfer traces the sweetspot plane's baseline during the swing. However, the "true" reality is that the clubshaft remains on that inclined plane board (between the 3rd and 4th parallels) and the hosel is tracing the baseline of of the plane board - tracing a SPL.
So, what do you believe? Do you believe that when a golfer talks of tracing a SPL for clubshaft control, that one is tracing the baseline of that inclined board (with the right forearm and PP#3) or do you believe that the right forearm/PP#3 is tracing the sweetspot plane's baseline?
