Why is it easier to hammer a sharply pointed nail into a piece of wood than a blunt one?

Pointed nails part the fiber of the timber.
But ... this is exactly why you do not want to use sharp nails. The sharp nails push the fibers in the wood grain apart causing the wood to split along the grain. A blunt nail crushes through the fibers leaving the grain intact.
