Where does "sitting" fit into all of this rotation?

Now Jack sitting in a chair that rotates and hitting seems to be a whole lot easier than flexing your back knee and trying to rotate. There has to ba more to this sitting stuff than just lowering your weight to the ground like you are sitting in a chair or something. That don't make sense to me. Why would you sit your weight down and then try to spin -- that's too hard to do; if you stand straight up it is much easier to spin that squatting down. I don' understand what people mean when they say sit down then rotate - that is inconsistent to me and when I try to do it, it feels real goofy.
