My question isn't about how or why it is done. I believe that is explained in the video. I am not intending to criticize the method either.
My question is about the actual strength of the joint. When it's all said and done, it doesn't seem like it would be any stronger than a simple butt joint.
Am I correct, or is there something that I'm overlooking? The explanation of the Applied Dovetail begins at about the 11:35 mark in the video.
