Yes! That is a great point. I think that some mfgs have used compact geometry as a cheap short cut to lower frame weights without informing consumers of the drawbacks (why would they). Its left to shop employees to try explaining the difference to a customer. Hence the mass confusion and varying opinions on the subject.
