Anyway, assuming I am getting close, let me make a proposition. I would say that once you have found this point in a shafts axial rotation that allows it to oscillate in a flat plane, when twanged as we do it, and that since the force to bend it a certain amount in either direction would be the same, then the shaft will respond the same from equal but opposite direction pulls off neutral. That being the case (hahah I hope), it would then seem to me that it would make no difference which side of this planer oscillation was placed towards the target.Absolutely right on!
Did I get too brave?
Not too brave at all.
BTW, this is still true even if it isn't a plane of flat oscillation. It will respond the same in that position (whatever "that position" is) and 180* from that position.
