I don't think a body lead allows me to give a smoother lead, particular. An arm lead can be just as smooth as a body lead. The points is rather that a body lead forces me to give a smoother lead. Because the lead comes from the way my body moves, 99% of the time it will be telling my follower to move in a way that her body can move, and in a way that is natural for a body to move. This makes it harder to give her a lead that is impossible for her to fulfill, and thus "yank" her.
If a follower says "no" to my body lead, she is not only vetoing my lead, but she is also vetoing the movement of my body that generated the lead. This creates a different feel than when a follower vetoes an arm lead.
