both martingales + GLs go as high on the neck, and as close to the ears,
as is physically possible; then i adjust them so that they will STAY up there, not slither down the dogs neck toward the chest.

Why?
Considering your posts are against punitive methods why would you put a martingale tight (no fingers you said) on the most sensitive places on a dogs neck?
I suggested a martingale as a collar you can't slip, not one to be used as a choke.
I agree a collar should be on the neck but not up under the ears, that's where cesars illusion collar sits because it's the most responsive place to being choked as it's so painful for the dog.
Be interested in your POV on this.
