It radically changes the functionality of the part!

Can you provide one illustration of an official LEGO model that uses this building
technique with a 32064?
 
Part No: 32064  Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole

32064 Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole
Parts: Technic, Brick

My knowledge of set instructions isn't comprehensive for that. I know I've
done it in my own MOCs and I know that configuration of inside supports has been
used on many other parts to enable their use as jumpers.

Can you try this experience with some real bricks and take a photo for us?

That seems to be the trend of this thread- most folks misunderstand the variants
of these parts, from the 7 teeth to 9 teeth joints to the 1x2 bricks with axles,
and think that there is an actual functional difference.


There _is_ a functional difference with
 
Part No: 32064c  Name: Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole (+ Shape) and Inside Side Supports
* 
32064c Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole (+ Shape) and Inside Side Supports
Parts: Technic, Brick
compared to the other variants of the part. That isn't fantasy or conjecture.
That is the truth.

Do exactly what Russell said to do. Try putting a 32064c on top of any 1x2 jumper
plate. Now try it with any of the other variants of the part. Let me know what
you find out.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
