OK Sitting too high would apply pressure on the back of the leg were the sciatica nerve runs. That would cause a burning sensation on the back of the leg. Sitting at a 25 degree angle would cause you to slide forward and more tension the the back muscles to try to keep leveled. That's why there are pricey thrones designed that look like a huge a bicycle seat with a wide saddle look from the rear.
You get that same feel when you sit on a ledge with the legs dangling. Try it sometime. I'll guarantee you will get that burn feel after a while. It's pressure on the sciatica nerve on the back of your leg. Got to balance your but on the throne, is the bottom line here. Angle is not a proportion in the formula. It's the intellectual facts that count. I do however understand your synopsis. And we didn't even have to get collegiate about it.
