I am not contradicting myself and I am not saying it alters direction. I am saying that if you scarf your tree in the direction you wish it to fall then a correct backcut will allow it to fall in this direction if this means having a slightly thicker hinge on one side to prevent breaking of hinge and tree not falling in correct direction then that is how it will eventuate. the amount of supporting hinge is crucial to fall direction. But that direction is predetermined by scarf orientation.
