With the shorter clubs you don't to dig anything into the ground for lie angle to affect your shot. To illustrate pick the club up in front off you parallel to the ground; the face is no longer pointed at the target. The higher the loft the more this is exaggerated. Granted digging the club into the ground with the toe or heel will also has effect on the face angle at impact but this is not the only effect caused by bad lie angle especially with the short clubs.
