Where a significant difference can be made is what I call "chasing the tree down". That means hanging around the stump and as the tree is falling you keep cutting and that does change it.

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.

Standing at the stump for whatever reason is not an acceptable practice, its a very dangerous place to be.
