Stepped ends are machined to fit these:

The blades work by clocking them between horizontal and vertical, or any degree between. So imagine them set horizontal. They will flex more than when set vertical. When they flex they absorb some of the twist (twist is induced by body roll), thus reducing the total torsional resistance of the entire assembly (like having a lighter bar). When they are set vertical they flex less and more of the twist is transferred to the bar/shaft. Thus increasing the total torsional resistance of the entire assembly (like having a heavier bar).

Hope that helps.
