I disagree with you based not only on my own experience and feeling, and my training in pedagogy, but also based on Miller's STRUCTURE OF SINGING, p. 59 ... "Yet there is a favorable arch to the fauces, the VELUM IS RAISED, and the connecting channel between the resonators is open and free. The same senasation of openness can be experienced whether one breathes through the nose or through the mouth."
