This video debunks the myth.

Are you saying you're debunking your own previous post?

The guy in the video says that a wobbly extension will throw off your
torque reading [if you're not directly above the nut, which is likely
with a wobble and the whole point of using a wobble] "Have to stay on
axis. If you do get off center, that will throw off your readings"
the "wobble" or a flex joint allow you to be "off axis" without
making the socket "bind" on the nut, which is what throws the torque
off when you are "off axis"
