When you're applying that much force, wedging against the frame of the bike/post isn't anything like being in a vice. You're applying a tremendous amount of force to twist, and once it twists even a little, it wants to twist more.
Why does it make a difference where you cut on the bar? You mean, like, try to cut both ends at once? I'm not the engineer on this team, but I give you my assurance that, if you managed to get a bolt cutter around both of them, you're not going to be able to cut through twice as much material more easily than cutting through one side.
