Max: 
I think that you are splitting hairs in assuming that this is  the definition of BTE that Gary was intending.  From the context, I feel he was merely contrasting CSM as little toe edge focused as opposed to PMTS being big toe edge focused. I agree with you that a more  rigorous use of terms  might have been "inside ski - little toe edge" versus "outside ski - big toe edge" but I was still able to get his point.

Of course, the conversations on Epic that put me to sleep are the ones that are mostly arguments about what various terms REALLY mean and all the nuances.. You wind up so far down in the grass that you forget you were talking about the forest.
