Very educational, thanks! I have made many of these different methods, and never gave it much thought. I have just been looking at different recipes recently, trying to combine several different ones in order to use up buttermilk I had, and was very confused trying to figure out which were compatible ones that I could combine different elements and not ruin the cake. This really helps, now I know combining from the same "family" of methods at least should work with minimal risk.
