There's another way to look at it, too, that supports the original premise. If I'm at bat, concerned with the high pitches being strikes, my focus will be more concentrated up there, and my stance would reflect it. If the bottom of the strike zone was still at my knees, then I would be less likely to react 'correctly' to low pitches and get the meat of the bat on them, and the end result would probably be a lot more ground balls. (Unless, of course, I Rickey Henderson-crouched it.)
