Steve correctly pointed out a qualifier

My comment was deliberate. That's precisely why I limited my offered
comments to 'geometry and fit'. I intended to withhold comment about
the more qualitative aspects that are informed as much by the rider
and the rider's preferences. You are absolutely right that a
perfectly fitting bike made from gossamer mithril is a different
machine than a bike with the identical geometry made of thickwall OS.
But tubing stiffness is qualitative! How it affects you, on the other
hand, is not.
