I've been wondering about this point, since the bend still has to occur mostly/ entirely at the line where the sloping and horizontal planes of the facecut meet. A gap face and whizzy seems to go along with you point. Would you agree/ disagree?
Certainly not higher as a necessity. The stump shot of a higher backcut gives something for the tree to push back against if it lays into another tree that might cause the butt to push back over the stump toward the cutter who stands there watching, which has killed people.
