Those are two different things.

Forgive my formal training .
Communication is the ultimate goal .
There are 2 points where torque is applied to a bridge as we are discussing it .
Where the string emerges from the bridge and where the string breaks over the saddle/s .
By lowering the point at which the string emerges from the bridge , you lessen the leverage applied and torque at that point .
There is another idea that I want to pitch here but I don't know how to relate it verbally . It has to do with the line from the point where the string emerges from the bridge to where the applied loading by the string bisects the top and how that moves rearward as the emergence point lowers . Oh well , it probably is meaningless anyway .
I do have a tendency to overthink things and then verbalize them .
