That is a very valid point - I have heard that before.
Apparently, the greater distance through which the hammer falls (pivots) allows it to build up more speed & the flint will hit the frizzen with a faster (harder) strike.
All of this extra distance/speed is of no value to merely set off a percussion cap. Excess force will merely batter the nipples.
