If you'd actually paid attention to what I wrote you would see that I'm agreeing with you and saying the same thing except in a more generalized way. We don't all work with just wood. As far as weight and balance goes, my closing sentence is a pretty clear hint that it is a major consideration.
Okay, starting with the start and working down the line...
The solid would be stronger... but by a LOT... not the "little" you suggest. Would be happy to play the math for you to understand...
You do not understand the concept of squares versus simple multiplication... period. It is huge.
Bullshit! A solid bean can add little weight, might even lose significant weight, but solids do not mean an increase.
Looking at the "Range" in math terms shows your statement is so far out there it is beneath ridiculous.
So, please, carry on!
