Hi Ron,
Have you been able to prove this? or is it educated speculation?  It  
certainly seems that the pin needs to be anchored to help avoid  
wallowing out the hole.  Since the wood is softer than the pin, the  
pin would be the more stable of the two simultaneous terminations,  
unless it is flagpoling around because it isn't anchored in the hole.

But that is definitely hypothesis.  I have noticed that if the hole  
has been drilled too deep (or the pin cut too short) and the pin  
can't make contact, the falseness will not be eliminated.
