I've read that quote elsewhere too, about increasing VTF to alleviate the skating force. I was always surprised that a man as brilliant as he obviously was would say such a thing. To the point where I doubt he said it or that he meant it that way, at least. Increasing VTF would increase the friction between stylus and groove, which is the cause of the skating force. So that's the last thing one would want to do, if one wanted to add anti-skate. (It seems to me, anyway.)
