The concept of a linkage that is free to pivot from one end but locked from the other is the least simple mechanical principle in this entire thread. How do you explain the video Dave made that I linked a couple posts back? The orange part of the hitch sure doesn't look very "locked" to me. Anybody else think that looks locked?
It is totally predictable that if there is a slight wiggle from the TV, there will be a slight wiggle observed in the TT. The hitch is simply working as designed, according to simple mechanical principles.

No scientist ignores data in favor of speculation. There are many many unsupported hypotheses here, none of which are demonstratable, falsifiable, and many of which ignore published information, and for that matter, video tape of the hitch in operation.
