A minimalist analytic extension shows spin-kick alignment in the tug-boat mechanism arises either from fast rotation averaging out perpendicular asymmetries or from spin-aligned mass flux, but the former requires unrealistically high rotation unless magnetic angular-momentum transport is efficient.
