If you check out Lau's accomplishment as a teacher however, I'll take his advice and results over Williams and pull hitting...

Williams was not just a player. He was a Manager, hitting Coach, and author of books on hitting. He lived, slept and ate hitting. The last player to hit over .400.

Career stats:

BA .344 7th all time and best since 1960

OB% .482 1st all time

SL% .634 2nd all time

OPS 1.11 2nd all time

You can have Lau, I'll take Williams. Take Lau's best student and compare him to Williams and then look at the student on film and see if he actually did what Lau taught. I doubt it.
