That statement puzzles me.

The torque bars I've used had a reasonably tight lateral fit
between the bar and bracket.
It sure seems to me a bar extending one foot ( as an
example) would be exactly like increasing tower radius at
the guy attachment point one foot.

I don't see how they could NOT improve resistance to
twisting.

Has anyone actually analyzer what they do and don't do? Did
Rohn release that statement as a company in writing? I'm
really puzzled why they designed them in the first place if
they "don't do anything".

Could this be a case of we don't sell enough to be worth
stocking, so it does nothing to help profits type of "do
nothing"?
