Another myth put out to pasture

If the myth that an unsupported cast iron crank will bend due to prolonged exposure to gravity is true, do you really think some lightweight wood will keep the cast iron from bending? Wood's density is WAY less than cast iron, and even cast iron can't hold up to gravity. The wood will probably be pulverized.
