"The cues and the things they think they do created the swing you see"

This is absolutely true but the problem with it is when you tell these cues to another player who is trying to learn how to swing, they'll interpret it differently from the major leaguer. The trick or mental process that the major leaguer uses to produce a good swing won't be the same mental process an amatuer player uses, and the swing will be completely different.

"So why not listen to what they say, why do we think we know more then the guy playing?"

You shouldn't listen to what they say because they're usually (especially in Pedroia's case) not specific. And we know we know more than the guy playing because we can look at video that proves that what they think they're doing is not what they're actually doing.
