EW. the links I provided would have cleared up your misconceptions, as even MOVING THE shavings & cuttings can increase spread of RODS, if those logs DID have exposure.
I am pretty sure no-one would want to INTENTIONALLY add the shavings to soil that does not already have the disease... & even MOVING the shavings from one area of a property to another area can increase the airborne potential of spreading RODS, that was covered in the links...
I think we all need to be reminded that reducing all transmission routes is the best plan to reduce the spread of this devastating disease... ie. leave fallen logs/trees/shavings/sawdust where they are, & try to limit any spread of the material (some use tarps & such to further limit spread...)
