Not too sure what you mean there pnearn?

I move my left knee because I had to learn how to move my left knee. I was getting too much weight on my left side too early in the downswing. One cannot move ones knee around when most of ones weight is on it. So now I move my left knee as the trigger to start my downswing. I am unsure of the pivot you mention. I move my left knee because I move it, and it leads everything else in the chain.

Also, I feel like getting my left knee target-side of my hips provides a brace against which to rotate/pivot through the ball and it helps keep my head behind impact.

I can't say that I have any sort of pivot involved in the downswing. In the follow through yes, but that is another matter.
