Having worked with both Tae Kwon Do and Judo, and now Hung Gar, I have noticed quite a bit of variation on the heel down issue. I am used to pivoting on the ball of the foot for quick movement and kicks, but to do so in Judo would be worthless. Trying to hoist someone with your hip without a good heel-grounding goes nowhere. Luckily the idea of physical contact on the heel (aka grabbing something, pushing or pulling,) is still in my spine, so to speak. All I have to do now is grind the heel concept into my strikes, for I still sometimes raise the back heel on the Ping Chui/Yat Gee Chui techniques.

" 'Way back in history, before you began...."
Your teacher's teacher's teacher (one of them, anyway)(a "smallish" guy from "the sticks") had no real trouble bouncing your teacher's teacher (a largish guy from "da Bronx") around more or less "at will".....

hmmm. well, if you're talking about Hung Kuen, it would be my teacher's teacher, who later became my teacher, bouncing my teacher (a large guy from da bronx) around more or less, at will.
If you're talking SPM, my teacher's teacher is from Manhattan.
Unless...you're talking My Hung Kuen teacher's SPM teacher..in which case, I am totally confused....
