A lot of things in nature become stronger by challenging them. The wind blowing can make branches stronger, cutting buds can 'force' more flowers, a broken bone can heal to be stronger etc.
i think that if i am back cutting a horizontal limb to fold down into it's face; that the same limb (size and weight) that grows from center to 1o'clock, will fail with less fibre than if it grew from center to 2o'clock, because the more downward pull at that angle. So the same limb folds with more controling fibre at diffrent times, with more fibre when challenged. So by throwing a line over the limb far out at high leverage, and pulling down, you can force fold earlier, with more helping fibre. This is true with dropping trees also. Blocking catching on the same spar too, having the best pulling strategy pulling the load over on the stronger hinge, sometimes flexing all the way over before tearoff for the least amount of shock loading, for the hinge hands the load off to the rig more gently.
If you force a stronger hinge in a lateral, and that hinge is focused to target, with a triangle fibre at tearoff based at the top, you have forced a more strategically constructed and steering hinge to also be stronger too! Compounding its capabilities and slower moving, less shocking.
Throwing even a throwline over a rigged lateral and exerting 50# pull, 15' from the hinge will load up a 'temporary' 750# load on the hinge, if it is slowly cut, it will begin to fold at the leveraged load presented, the temp 750# is eased and the limb is slowly moving with a meatier hinge than it would contrive itself! Anchor to the ground 1 end of the throwline and place 50# on the remaining leg places 2(legs) x 50#(your pull) x 15' (throwline to hinge) for 1500foot pounds of temporary force on top of whatever leveraged force already exists.
As wee depend on the hinge more, we must consider more the individual rot, grain, temp, species etc. and other things that affect this part of the machine that we are attempting to rely even more-on.
