Common sense says who ever taught you that was wrong.........think about it.
Really think the threads hanging out and don't have any contact with a "female" thread have anything to do with stretching?

I had a few big pieces like that this spring. I considered trying to get onto the splitter, but then just got the sledge and wedge. They were straight grained so split remarkable easy. I only did a few at a time as not to pull a muscle, and just split them enough so I could get them on the splitter by hand.I cheated a bit today and used the grapple for the heavy lifting and the splitter. I made a decent dent in the pile though.

Those threads hanging out help the strength of a bolted joint by reducing the stress concentration factors in the bolt and nut. Those are due to the first couple of threads on the bolt not being 100% full good threads so by getting the bolt to stick out then there is better thread contact through the entire nut.
that is what @lynnmor was showing in his post above
This has just become the industry standard and is taught extensively.
Minimum Threads Protruding Beyond Nut
A minimum thread protrusion length is given to ensure that all the threads are engaged. This is required to ensure a full-strength fastener. Equipment component drawings should specify the type, length, and size of bolt, stud, bolt-stud, etc. to be used to obtain the proper thread protrusion.

My preference is using a maul too. Personally I don’t like using logs that big for firewood, but it was a tree in a place I could not get equipment too easily, so I chunked it up and hauled out with the grapple and made a pile. It was big enough pile not much fun to wrestle em out to split, so I cheated
. I don’t want it to go to waste either…it’s a shame to use that type of wood for firewood. My splitter can be set up to split vertically, but for big pieces that seems like more work to wrestle them in under the wedge. The grapple really helped to set up up on the table top then pretty easy to roll onto the splitter.

We've been contemplating getting out of the layer hen habit for a while now. Finally re-homed the last of the hens to my daughter's coop Saturday and have been tearing out the chicken pen.
Combination of chain link and page wire, SEVERELY overgrown with wild rose, wild raspberries, goldenrod and alder sprouts. Managed to salvage about 2/3 of the chain link which will be used to expand the daughter's pen, the rest I just hooked onto with a chain and ripped out. Pulled the posts and mowed the weeds/brush, now I'm down to cleaning up my mess, lugging off rotten cedar posts and mangled wire and such.

Isn't that like saying if you take a rope, cut off one end, put it on the the other end the rope will be longer?

Spent a nice weekend camping at my land with my grandson. The weather could not have been more perfect.
One of the "chores" on the list was dragging my box blind across the property back to my picnic/camping area for some major renovations. I built the box blind on skids so I can drag it to different locations if needed. I needed him to remove a large brush pile that I placed to break up the outline of the box blind before I could hook on with my jeep and drag it.
Anyways, my grandson has never driven the L2501 , only my B7100 which does not have a loader. My buddy who has lots of machine experience and great operator and teacher went thru the safety aspects and controls with him and for his first loader/grapple experience did great.
After the work finished we relaxed around the campsite, bbq'ed, enjoyed a fire, and played some very non regulation horse shoe competition,

To me, not really.
It is more like saying get the rope long enough to tie a figure eight keeper knot instead of a simple overhand keeper knot. Both would hold but if you are being lifted 1000 feet off the ground with that rope which keeper knot is safer, better, more reliable?
