The hinge and Face machines are so automatically self correcting; that they do try to feed into the gunned sighting of the hinge.
The system of pulls and pushes adjusts to the Off Target side pulls of lean etc., by using the off balance as the empowermeant of the adjsutment that is made by the pull on the hinge, and the slap of the face to adjsut the off balance itself. The force runs in a circle against itself; to try to balance. Balance to a target is the first thing it must do before moving, for it will move in a straight line unimpeded, therefore not in more than one direction, therefore must balance to that direction. If you don't balance with the passive adjustments, you can end up adding/sweating active force adjustments of line pull and wedge to replace, what you already have; for the balance must be made. If moving a huge upright freezer that is off balance to the side of travel (offside lean),and could not tip it's cart (stump), if you didn't tie down the side against the off balance across the cart (hinge) ; to move forward, you would have to fight physically the offbalance with muscle (active) cuz ya din't use the passive restraint of the tie down. If you had seperate tie downs, the tiedowns on the off balance side would help stabilize, but hardly get used, cuz the thing wasn't going to fall agianst it's 'lean'
The more lean to the side, the more the hinge pulls from the opposite side, the harder the face right , directly under lean will push back across to the other side. These are passive force adjsuters, the pull or push to match the force put into them, pull 100# hinge pulls back 100#, pull 500#......
That being said; i think that sometimes; you have to give Nature more tools/power to perform those functions; like more leveraged fiber; but still deliver square to face.
i speak again of the tapered/triangle hinge; and not so much adding it to a situation, but not taking away the rear most of it's tail, (and making a strip hinge). i say not taking away, because the pattern of support in the stump against the lean, more assimulates the tapered hinge, than the strip hinge. So in a strip hinge you are cutting away the support actually in use against the sidelean; you are not adding something by making a tapered hinge.
You are jsut leaving Nature with more of the tools to steer, and not taking that away, and then replacing it with line pull and wedge push.
Look at the lean as a forward force (to target) and a side pull force (perpendicular to previous) each of so much value; counter balance of the side pull, and allow the forward pull.
The lean forward is the power you use, and is finite; use it wisely like it was line pull you were sweating on yourself; it bends over fibers, that the sidepull tests.
Orrrrrrrrrrr something like that!
