On a theoretical level, the socket extension can act as a torsion bar, 
reducing the torque getting through to the head of the nut or bolt.
I don't think this makes much of a difference for a normal sized extension
(which to me means 3/8" drive by 6-7 inches long).   Anybody have a
table we could look this up on?  Just curious...
