Great bit of help. Wish I could get my FFTK folks to listen to me when I tell them this.

A lot of this depends on 2 things.
1. High bar vs low bar 2. Hand placement. With a low bar and wide hand grip, if I rotate the elbow down I will get very bad bar roll. Just something to keep in mind.

My greater point was about rolling the elbows up in the hole, and a lack of focus on tightness in general. I merely posted this so beginners and those still relatively new to the squat could watch for this tendency in their videos.

See in Ripp's teaching video the elbows are not flared up. "Up" is relative. Driving them "up and back" in setup creates tightness. This obviously is individual, but it doesn't mean flaring them up parallel to the ground during a rep, which is the flaw I am talking about.
 The flaring I am discussing is from improper setup and a loose back. The elbows are allowed to drift up. Rippetoe doesn't do this. If Rippetoe saw someone with elbows drifting up during the squat he would correct them, because the back and arms aren't tight. Notice his shoulder to elbow angle stays pretty close to his torso angle. This is not changing during the reps.

I can see in this video that the lifter is consciously trying to keep his back tight. He makes adjustments, and when the elbows creep up, he locks them, and his back down:
