Ahh, crazy. I was wondering about that. When it comes to this sort of stuff, quantifying the ultimate "feel" of a blade and how the various distal tapers, grinds, or fullers (and heat-treatment) affect performance for a task, I often just follow intuition, assume the resulting observations are real, and then try to figure out "why" after the fact. For example, beating big blades into targets at really bad angles a lot just to see what happens, 'though it looks really dumb in youtube videos LOL!
I mean, of course a fuller will affect how a long bar of metal twists, but the question is, how severely.
