i'll just answer the question then. the reason why people do decline/incline is because it recruits more fibres than flat bench. all i'm saying is that doing all incline/flat/decline is unnecessary.
And no, if someone just did decline presses they wouldn't have a shelf-like chest. the reason being the body prevents that part from growing as it will lead to injury. the body is a self surviving mechanism, it will not activate hypertrophy in parts where it will prone itself to injury.
