@elliottbnewcombjr a few points of clarification to your post
Any pivoted tonearm that has the cartridge/tonearm wires constrained by either an rca termination, lemo connection, internal DIN plug will generate a torsional torque whenever the tonearm arm moves horizontally. The only difference between the VPI and ML table tonearm wire connection is one exits from the top while the other exists from the bottom. Both methods will exhibit a torsional torque.
The anti-skate device used on the ML table is manufactured by VPI and is also available for all VPI tonearms.
