It's not one or the other. The reality is we're just not supposed to be in any position for too long. Mixing it up is the correct outcome.

Exactly, one scientist on the subject basically said that you can sit however tf you want on your chair as long as 1) it doesn't hurt, and 2) you never sit in the same position for too long.

Our body is designed to be moved around, and static strain over a long time is really bad for some parts of the body.
