Many argue like you but I did videos to prove it wrong, in true arrogant fashion like WMD in Iraq many denounced the evidence and continued saying the earth is flat.

There will be slight differences, depending on how thick the hinges are. If you have no hinge on one side and 20% on the other a slight deflection will occur (near insignificant) but not enough to "bank on".

In this post is videos you can watch.

Chasing the tree down will leave you within 5' of tree longer then needed. most accidents happen within 5' of the tree. Loggers use this tech. though. Just my two cents.
