Yes, Mark, that was Stein's ideal.

However, the notion that he intended is ideas on lip shape and function to
be applied to both the double- and single-lip embouchure styles is supported
by the following: "But actually, regardless of whether single or double-lip
is used, the lips must assume the bulk of the work." ...... "For
clarification, "single lipping" implies that the reed lies across the lower
lip with the mouthpiece anchoring directly behind the front teeth on the top
side. "Double lip" embouchure is the complete encasement of the mouthpiece
and reed within both the upper and lower lips."
