Yea i dont think thats necessarily true, installing the brace 1/3rd from a split fork acts as the fork its self not so much as a static brace so tree movement oscillation is close to normal. Im just thinking this because a tree moves so much less lower down.
Here are some photos of dynamic and static systems used together, sorry i should have included this in the poll...
This English oak is around 300 years old, lives just out side Stockholm Sweden. It got a 5% weight reduction on the tips and a full deadwood/standard tree care. Big tree, good fun climbing!
