Thumbs up left knee pointing in or out?

This obviously applies to right handers, lefties can just reverse the idea. Until recently I have tried to keep my left knee pointing sligthly towards the right knee (as that is what Hogan recommends in 5 fundamentals). I have a tendency to get stuck on my right side which causes slices and the odd shank. I then saw a tip on TV where they said to point the left knee outwards (i.e. towards the target not the right knee). This has improved my turn dramatically and I am not getting stuck on my right side anymore. I think Hogans advice on the left knee pointing in towards the right knee is wrong, anyone have any views on this?

He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”
