You Put a lot of work in this post, but that would be 10 times clearer with illustrations and maybe examples for games. That'd be great If You Could do that, I'd be interested into having a deeper look.

To the OP.  If you are going to quote wikipedia, you should credit them.  The way your post is written makes it look like this was your stuff.

The lowly pawn. At our lower levels, I think we fail to pay enough attention to them. Many a GM, however, hold them in high esteem.

And this is not something new. From Francois Philidor in the 18th century, ". . . pawns . . . they are the soul of chess. It is they which uniquely determine the attack and the defence, and on their good or bad arrangement depends entirely the winning or losing of the game."
