Almost the opposite Daniel. The bore cut sets a hinge, which in the worst trees sets a fracture point for the stem to split down. The twin gobs leave a triangle of wood, which is easy to sever & the gradual release probably helps too. The mechanics are very similar to the coos bay cut if you...
It is a very useful cut for small diameter stems, that are too small to bore cut & can be used on compromised & decayed wood - obviously with care. A simple & very underused cut imho
