No one nailed it.
You're missing the point. Extensions act as torsion springs! The amount of force the spring gets energized must be subtracted from the force applied to the bolt being torqued. The skinnier or longer the extension, the greater the error.
This error will probably be extremely small, but the OP has a valid point that should be considered in extreme cases.
