That's pretty much what I've been saying all along. Spoks effect on a bike is negative, but multiplies. 1 spok = -1, 2 spoks = +1. That does mean that a tricycle with spoks all round would be anti too.
For a flat time trial, spoks would actually be faster than Lightweights, despite weighing over 1kg more for a pair.
