Why then is Aumont not already 'fixed'?  (IIRC, he has been seen recently still locking the front leg).  And Cortes hasn't yet been?
Seriously, if this is such a mechanical flaw, that is so easily fixed, why isn't it coached out immediately (or why hasn't it already)? 
I know with running, the conventional wisdom of the day is to let people run how they feel comfortable running, because that's how the natural way their body wants to run.  You can tweak some stuff here & there, but you shouldn't try to run in an uncomfortable way just because it is mechanically 'correct'.
There has been a ton of money & time & thought put in to pitching mechanics.  Why isn't the locked front leg obvious to everyone else?  Or if it is, why aren't they acting more vehemently on it?
