The fact that unless the stress is exactly perpendicular to the mounting
points, it allows the unsupported lower suspension pickup points to flex.  The
triangulated (4 point) version doesn't allow this to happen.  To better
illustrate this, think about the triangulated rear stress bar that has been
the recent topic of discussion.  While it works without the triangulation,
it's effectiveness is reduced significantly.  

The rationale for the 2 point bar being worthless is that it's cost is roughly
the same as the 4 point, triangulated version which is head and shoulders
(ugh, a cliche) above the 2 point variety.
