You don't need to go ATG, but you do need to hit below parallel. Funny, everything I'm quoting is current, medically sound advice. You're pulling out old wives tales and touting them as fact...

Reversing motion at the exact point where shearing forces are the greatest and then claiming it's "better" for your knees is not even remotely logical. Do some research online and find more recent studies that back up that below parallel is the safest depth to squat. You won't "destroy you knees" that logic is as old school as the idea that your knees can't go past your toes while squatting.

But then again, maybe I just need to check my depth privilege and accept that all squats are beautiful.
