I don't think this is true. It is true that a hollow bar of larger 
diameter is stronger than a solid bar of smaller diameter --the savings 
there come in terms of less material used for the construction of the 
hollow bar. But if you have the same diameter hollow and solid bars, then 
the solid bar should be stronger. 

I'm not 100% sure of this, so I would love someone to come out and 
responsibly state the scientific truth.
