I'm not sure where exactly the idea would be controversial...did Mack say it was controversial?
Anyways, the thing with the "red lip" playing, if you will, is that it only works well on long scrape reeds (i.e. having a back with a spine)
European reeds (the heavier eastern european, or the French alike) require that you take more reed in your mouth, and in the case of eastern european, even bite a little. European reeds also have bark from about halfway up the reed, which is why taking more reed into the mouth does not cause any problems.
Now about the controversies!
I think all these controversies really lie around pitch. Reeds are (or should be) tuned so that the peep and crow are the same. (---> We tune our reeds by extreme tip peep and crow. Germans tune their peep further up the reed<---)The differences in embouchure placement are apparent in this tuning. If an "american" player were to take a german reed and play it, it would sound loose and noisy and flat. Conversely if a german player were to take one of our reeds, they would sound stuffy and small.
Anyways! So I think the main point here is that because of the huge variability in the reeds and embouchure styles, there is a lot of ground for disagreement...that's all!
