This model and idea that force leaves the body and supports a brick through a linear line, through space is a fallacy and doesn't work.
Dan, did you miss all the discussions through the years about vector resultants? It's possible you didn't study vector analysis in relation to forces, but trust me we're talking about a vector resultant. If you look back in the archives, I've shown the how's and why's of it, including with pictures. None of the people with physics training batted an eye at the time because it's a fairly simple concept.
