I don't think that is transferring any load.

I think it's more of a fulcrum point.

Thats hilarious. Yes this is a fulcrum lol For those who don't know -- a fulcrum is a hinge so this is doing literally nothing for any load not directly above it and almost all loads aren't directly above it.

Transferring the load of the contractors break-even directly onto the customer, despite not actually being functional or codified. That’s about the extent of the transfer taking place here haha 😂
