Sitting straight is always best, but short people may have to lean forward a bit. When the guitar tilts back, the weight of the arm holds the strings to the board. Rostropovich holding the cello on his knee illustrated this principle. Idiots called his manner of playing "eccentric". Since I was a guitarist, I could see the logic of his position the instant that I saw him play. Relatively short people, like Julian Bream, play with a vertical top, and they have to hold their hands up to the board, which is an obvious disadvantage. The length of the arms has more to do with it than the overall height. Sounds like some rationalization is going on with your source. You do what you have to do.
