Default Where is the stress point on an acrylic nail?

I keep reading about where the stress point should be, but I honestly don't understand a word. Can someone explain it to me, or maybe show me some drawings or photos? Thank you.

It is the line that your nat nail will most likely break at if you bend it straight backward. Draw an imaginary line straight across your nail from sidewall to sidewall at the point where your whiter free edge meets the pink of your nail plate. This is where your "apex" or "arch" of your nail should be.
