I'd assume that the more wood/wood contact, the more transfer of vibrations from the neck to the body. Imagine that you have a metal post pounded 3 feet into the ground. Not going anyhwere - very stable. Then you have another one that is pounded 6 feet in to the ground. Stability is the same. Hit them both with a hammer, and which one will transfer the most vibration in to the ground? Clearly the one that it seated deeper.
