Sorry, I can't agree with this statement

Ed, just for the record, my apologies if I appear to have suggested
that standing is either better or worse than sitting. I meant to ask
about it, not to offer a hypothesis.

A few weeks ago, I suggested that knowing where the diaphragm and
abdomen muscles are anchored would be useful when discussing breath.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know. I was a biology major,
dissected a few animals. etc -- but much of the knowledge has slipped my
mind.
Also, I can't help wondering (again, I don't know the answer)
whether posture can have more of an effect on the diaphragm and abdomen
when seated than when standing? Bad posture is never helpful, but is
it more damaging to good breathing when the offender is seated?

Thank you,
Bill
