You seem to have missed that part. Calling the slight difficulty breathing associated with bad posture 'asthma-like' is akin to referring to a paper cut as a 'major laceration.' Asthma is characterized by a restriction of the bronchi, resulting in extreme shortness of breath, hyperventilation and/or even suffocation. Posture plays no role in this and to assert that it does is asinine.
