Wrong. It is exactly the other way. A pipe that is pressured from both
sides
will carry a far greater strain/load than a rod. Check out your shower
curtain holder, for example.------------------Well, even if the analogy
holds, and I am not convinced it does, then a shower rod, or anaxel is
"pressured" on one plane only....the other plane it'll be subject to the
opposite load type: ie: the top of the shower rod'll be in compression,
the bottom under tension.--------------
