On one hand you said the statement that a triangulated hinge doesn't alter felling direction is false.
Then you said the tree does fall straight but it wouldn't have unless the triangulated hinge was used.... because the triangulated hinge prevented "breakout". So you have contradicted yourself as it's not the triangulation that alters direction. Therefore the statement stands true.
I attempted to clear this matter by
1/ Using symmetrical trees to show that triangulation of the hinge doesn't alter felling direction.
2/ By cutting away the hinge as the tree is falling on one side slightly alters the felling direction however it's a risky and bad practice simply not worth the end result.
3/ That triangulating the hinge so the opposite side of the lean has the thicker hinge still doesn't change the fall direction ... what it does do is provide more resistance to the hinge breaking and losing the tree to the lean/weighted side.
So I conclude that the last paragraph of attached H4 is accurate and true. The documents referred to are in
