We can definitely say now, that the Caswellian thumb pose is not a universal trait. Modern penholds largely abandoned such flattened thumb pose, in favor of variants of dynamic tripod where the thumb IP joint is flexed (bent). In 1993, very few students were observed to wield a Caswellian thumb pose.
