This is not true Mike. Maybe certain individual's can get away with this
because of their constitution but a high laryngeal position creates excessive
medial compression, even much more than effortful closur.
High laryngeal position is mentioned in the literature under misuse and puts
excessive strain on the folds in the area where the anterior one third and
posterior two thirds of the folds meet, aka the nodular junction.
