If this is supposed to reduce twisting forces or stress on the mast (other
than from weight being on one side), I never understood this concept. I
wish there was a photo or video that explained this. All of my large Yagis
have always been bolted on the same side of the mast or tower.

That's what I used to think, but when shown how the vectors all cancel
out when the elements AND boom are mounted at their exact centers, I
became convinced otherwise. Of course boom to mast clamps are often not
at the boom center, so that throws things off a bit.
