First, they cause no harm that I can see, and "strengthen" is rather subjective in this context. But I would find it hard to imagine someone can make the case that a girdle in this application does not at the least help dampen any harmonics of the caps in mostly 2d.
Now whether that is important or useful is another discussion.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
