Thumbs up Force increases friction.

The design of the Robinson head is such that with the blades in the static position the spindle tusks are hard against the droop stop through bolt. Considering the lever arm of the blade which has its fulcrum at the cone hinge the force on the contact point of the spindle tusk and the droop stop through bolt is quite high. Trying to pull the blade down by the tip amplifies the contact pressure and could cause damage to the blade due to bending or possibly damage the spindle tusk due to abrasion.
