Mine has a mechanical dial gauge. The socket interface connects to the dial calibration marks on the gauge. The needle goes all the way back to the handle. The needle registers what the handle is doing with respect to the socket adapter.
If I add the length as I said, the pressure I physically have to exert on the "cheater" is going to be less than the pressure/torque recorded on the dial by the difference in distance measured from the wrench handle to where my hand is.
However, If we get back to the original question, I will agree that you have to add feet between the socket interface and the bolt to be cracked. If one adds 2' of extension, then the dial says that there is say 100# of torque applied a distance of 2' from the bolt, or the bolt is seeing 200 ft-lbs of torque regardless of how much energy you have to exert as a result of cheater pipes.
