As I understand it (and I'm not enormously well read on the subject) all the
partials would not have to be present in the chords. High frequency
vibration in the chords could drive lower partials in the resonant cavity,
therefore producing a richer/wider sound from flutey, non-adducting
chords.
Request - Let's not take the discussion as far as "counter-tenors use
falsetto, Oh no they don't, oh yes they do, ....he's behind you !!! :)" OK.
It's been around too many times already.

ps The slightly obscure quip is a reference to the ancient art of pantomime,
which I don't believe is musch practiced on your side of the pond. :)
