Yes. I used engineer-speak shorthand "geometry." Perhaps that was confusing; but now you know.
That is, with the material CF vs Alum, the density affects the geometry (the cross section) much in the same way aluminum will be thicker/taller x-sec, and therefore stiffer than the same weight version in steel. /beam theory.
