You're correct, and the majority of teaching involving the female voice (in
classical singing) is approached this way. The ones who argue they mix chest
in on the bottom, may a little bit, but not enough. If there was more chest
involved some teachers would not bring up points such as "raw chest"
disconnects from the rest of the voice. Men come out of pure chest without a
flip, women can too. The imposition of too much head too low in the voice
destroys potential and also makes the voice unversatile.
