Ignorance PLUS erroneous information is a far more deadly combination than using CF to make bike frames and forks. It's because people like you are on juries that CF bike frames actually are over-engineered.
Trek does make a specific--and expensive--bike with a CF frame that purposefully is engineered for a lighter rider. That's how close you came to knowing what you're actually talking about.
