Why would he mention lats and levator but not lower traps and s.a?
there's research on this all over the net, just off the top of my head:

Thanks for sharing; looks interesting. But note that the paper above is from 2009 and his presentation is from 2004 so he couldn't have been aware of at least that paper.
Also, with nine years having passed, we don't know what tweaks and adjustments Stoxen may have made to his protocol.
I don't think you have said
why the levator shouldn't be strengthened other than implying that its because its better to strengthen other muscles. The "NEVER" is pretty strong though.
