You do realize that the Wilier geometry is still really a diamond frame, right? And that "straight is strong, curved is weak" is such a primitive oversimplification that it is little more than superstition? An arched opening is far stronger than a rectangular one, for instance. You can admit you really don't know what you're talking about or you can dig in and continue to insist on nonsense. Your choice.
