Ken;
Is that in reference to something Dent wrote?

i've done loaned out that dog-eared feller's bible; guess i need to go after it!
i'd think this is all at some point based on Dent's "Proffesional Timber Falling- a Procedural Approach". Mr. Dent writes of dutchmans. Though, i must confess; that as i remember, what i've learned to call a swing dutchman around people and net; is in his book a step dutchman using a kerf instead of rock or block in face on lean side.
i'd think that your picture that allowed twist to other side from Forestry Forum, would be more of a type of swing dutchy the way Dent described; iff for a 12 o'clock lay, you had a ~3o'clock hard lean. Or, in the faceless hinge to side i propose, with the kerf under, on a horizontal limb in tree to sweep some sideways; in FaceOff Thread. The commonality being a lot of leveraged force to the side of target, that closes face for helpfull push. The step versions not shortening the length across the hinge. The swing, cutting through the hinge to shorten it's pull leverage, but also enough pressure to close kerf and give compressive support. Being disconnected allows twist/swing.
The forces are lower in tree, but sometimes the leveraged angles of control much greater , especially manipulating through horizontal or 140 degree sweeeps on hinge down or over. All to a smaller scale, but higher leverage; for a different way to view the same forces, and find the commonalities i think.
