I suppose this is a response to the post by Atomas-jiu-jitsu of about eight weeks ago, where (basically) he questioned the technique "necessary" for super high reps.
This, of course, is just my opinion.
But, for me, the issue compares to that of high-rep military pushups. Sure, the guy can say, "I can do a hundred pushups," but they are performed "short-stroke" and the chest never gets near the ground, never gets below the elbows in fact. On the other extreme, a person might use pushup bars so's to extend the range of motion. THAT person is less likely to reach 100 pushups, but it IS probably a better exercise by virtue of the longer range of motion. Better for the joints involved, better for the muscles involved.
Same with kettlestack Snatches. As the saying goes, "Different strokes for different folks," but, personally, I think the long-stroke Snatch - as demonstrated by Pavel - is better for the knees and back.
