How does he differ to Rippetoe's stuff?

Without wanting an argument - is it my eyesight or do both the lifters in the pics have parallel thighs??

S0 at 1:43 in this video he says "... with the toes turned out..".
I've been playing around with foot stance, and found that a slight V shape improves .... something in the lift itself. But at the same time I feel that something iffy happens in my knees when my thighs are not parallel. Seems I am looking for a goldilocks position of sorts. Can someone help me dial in this in?

Purely as a counterpoint to the Rippetoe-focused discourse lately, here's
a back squat tutorial from an Olympic gold medalist.
I personally find myself somewhere in the middle, but just thought I'd throw it out there to show the complete other end of the spectrum. There's certainly no dogmatically 'perfect' squat - it all depends on bodytype and the purpose you're squatting for.
