Scot,
Finally into the office this morning and found my modern timber
engineering book to come up with the proper term for the question you asked.
Based on what I found there it's the increase in bearing area below the
fastener which is probably behind that requirement.
Pretty amazing that a 65 year old structural design book has all that
relevant information.

fasteners for sway bracing
figure 9.3.5.9.1
for loads perpendicular to the structural member
why should the fastener be installed a minimum
1/2 the depth? Is the structural member stronger
on the upper half?
Is the ceiling/roof load restrainin' the upper half of the structural
member,
although it is not a given...?
in my brain, i don´t know what is happenin...
I should not have slept during the lectures on Mohr´s circle...
