At the risk of overstaying my welcome in the thread, I would say that the "chin thing" is still just a function of maintaining a thinner lower lip.

And just to add what I have posted on other various topics, Bas DeJong of Holland had told me some years ago that German playing colleagues are as amused as they are bumfuzzled (a technical term used in the South) over the American clarinet players' obsession with embouchure. Using their (German system and German mouthpiece) long facing and small tip opening with a soft reed (2 1/2 strength Vandoren Traditional White Master) they (the Germanic players) pretty much just put the mouthpiece in their mouths and blow.
