I think either Jobst Brandt or Damon Rinard concluded that there was no measurable benefit to the wheel structure

That was what I understood, but Gerd Schraner thinks otherwise...

Gerd Schraner thinks otherwise

How many wheels actually fail half way up the spokes where they rub on one another? If you think it's really an issue, there are straight pull designs which don't let the spokes touch at the crossing anyway :) The whole article reads like a "just so" story, I bet the next paragraph explains why tied and soldered wheels are vertically compliant but laterally rigid :)

If you think...

I don't.

I just parrot the opinions of others relying on the fact that more often than not, whoever is listening knows even less than me.

You're somewhat skewing my batting average though.
