Question about tilting or rocking

[Bill Reese]

That's a good analogy Charles.  Ingvild, extend that to include rocking 
forward.  Yes, the head would move forward with the shoulders but it 
wouldn't tilt - it would remain level.

Another way to think of this is Japanese bowing etiquette.  A higher 
ranked Japanese wouldn't bow his head to an inferiorly ranked Japanese, 
he would bow his torso but continue to look at the other person, keeping 
his head more level.  The other Japanese would bow his head down, 
averting his eyes.
