Upon further reflection, the 1 of 3 "tweaks" I mentioned, "Three areas I would like to see tweaked, if possible. 1. the short front upper 8"? connector, reduced to close to zero", this one might be a stiffer solution, but likely would have a huge stress concentration, and prone to fatigue and failure, and therefore not an improvement over what you had napkin drawn. Nevermind.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
