caio,

because sensation in the sinuses can be experienced in a variety of
situations that do not call for 'head voice' (i find it useful in getting low
notes to sound, for example) and because there are language sounds where a
nasal sensation is less likely, while the use of 'head voice' is required,
this isn't much of a crutch. the post that started this controversy was
from a woman who thought she wasn't singing in 'head voice' because she did
not have the sensations she was expected to look for.
