Does the "layman" have any power when they cut a deck for a shoe game?

Evening, all!
I had just a quick question if there is any "power" a player has by cutting a deck in a certain spot, or if allowing a player to cut a deck with the cut card is just a symbolic necessity. I'm assuming tower shufflers, but I suppose hand-shuffles could work as well.
I don't believe so, but I just wanted to make sure. My apologies if this has been covered already.
Thanks!

If the dealer is a card mechanic, and he signals a partner where to cut, then yes.
Otherwise, no.

Can you cut a card in and out of play?
♪♪Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand♪♪ Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of casinos and money You must put them on the table♪♪ You go back Jack do it again roulette wheels turinin' 'round and 'round♪♪ You go back Jack do it again♪♪

Performing the shuffle publicly is equivalent to providing a cut card... an ostentatious move that displays at attitude of openness. The only "power" exerted is that the witnesses demand the drama. The cut card can be inserted very shallowly, in which case the dealer will just resplit the stack at that point and insert it in the shoe.
The only "power" comes from forcing the house to shuffle and cut the cards.
