Here, you are rightly saying that fingers can have an effect on the sound (or jaw feeling), especially when the embouchure is not secure. It still does not mean that embouchure has any effect on the fingers (which it does not).
Besides, if one needs to play uncomfortably so that they can feel the effect of heavy fingers, then they probably need a better way to exercise and understand the advantages of light fingers (which have less to do with jaw pain and more with fluidity and speed).
I am with brycon 100% on the touted advantages of double lip that are not. And if we were to convert (an apt verb, as it is a matter of belief more than facts) to double lip "because the great Harold Wright did so", then we should all play guitar left handed "because Jimi Hendrix did so". That looks more like cult following than reasoning to me.
Now, if you try double lip and it so happens that you can _observe_ for yourself something better coming out of it, then by all means pursue experimenting along that track. Otherwise, and especially if you observe things going for the worse, then I really don't see what good you are trying to achieve.
