you're right, this will likely make it stronger and you're exempt from liability because other companies are doing the same thing. carry on.
I'm sorry but it's not exactly a new concept in cycling to sacrifice strength for some other attribute. If you're going to give people **** for this you should also start bashing Pista Concepts for being made out of thinner tubing to save weight instead of being built stronger. After that you can go into the road and track forum and start trashing people for running anything less than 32 spoke 3 cross patterns. When you're done with that you can move on to everyone running any kind of tire other than armadillos or gator skins because they traded durability and puncture resistance for things like ride quality, traction or lightness.
Should keep you busy for awhile. Have fun with that
