To what extent would this apply to someone doing deadlifts in the context of ES, where you are:

-keeping the weights light/easy/crisp, which would seem to address two of the concerns--that DLs are generally draining and that the negative is often sloppy

-also probably doing a bunch of swings, which would seem to address the issue that DLs lack the loaded stretch

-hitting the DL for maybe ten workouts and then rotating through other hinge alternatives (some of which might involve a full front squat and therefore be more well rounded--clean and snatch)?

I dunno, it seems like it's not a criticism of deadlifts per se but rather: deadlifts done too heavy--ie, poorly--and too much--ie, to the exclusion of other stuff. And to that extent, I guess I agree.
