I was assuming that everyone here would understand that a thicker spoke has a higher longitudinal spring rate in response to changes in tension force/stress, and thus a thicker spoke is a stiffer spoke.
But again, it sounds like you are still assuming that spoke tension doesn't change in response to even small changes in the wheel's loading. Is that your assumption?
