No worries. Asterisks* aren't for everyone. But they were only used to inform the proper differences between straight gauge and double butted spokes. There is no "imagining" or "probably". There is evidence based fact on why spokes are specifically designed the way they are. Was only attempting to shed light to that. We are all here to learn. No matter how old we are, how experienced, or how long we've been on a particular Forum.
