Re: yonkyo musings..
As nage I never stand there trying to get the pressure point; I aim for where it "should be" and work on achieving the progressive lock-up that, as I was taught it, is the actual yonkyo.
Since I am a non-sensitive uke vis a vis the nerve thing, I can testify that yonkyo is HIGHLY effective considered as a joint lock providing for progressive immobilization up the arm, across the shoulders and to uke's center...if that is how one envisions it.
