WOW

Im actually not sure what you are trying argue anymore, I have forgotten. Just to put me straight on your way of thinking (which may very well be correct but I dont know what it is) Please explain the correct load path from grond to hub and explain what forces keep the hub central and the wheel stable when opposing spoke tensions differ.

Try to explain without using terminology like the hub either hangs or sits on the spokes so no one gets confused and rather than follow the load path from hub to ground, follow it the other way, so the ground pushes on the rim. Explain for a load large enough to release ALL of the tension in the bottom spokes plus a few N

I'm asking you because you may have a book that you can quote from which will use better and clearer language than I can be bothered to dream up. That way everyone will have the benefit of your knowledge which is the very reason people are on the forum.

The thing is I am agreeing with the analysis posted up because it is correct. I dont agree with some of the conclusions because it is easy to show they are incorrect. All you seem to be doing is laughing at people
