Thermocouple length does the opposite of what it says?

The tooltip says "a greater length allows a more gentle heat gradient, which is less efficient, but reduces thermal expansion stress".
However, design experience ingame always shows the minimum of 1mm being the best in terms of stressing the thermocouple as little as possible.
Also, looking for specs for thermocouple alloys only shows ultimate tensile strengths, as though they're used in a pre-deformed state, which would make sense to do if possible, so should that be used instead of yield strength?
