Were you drunk when you wrote that?
Drilled rims will NEVER be as strong as undrilled. I have no clue as
to where you're getting your information. In my experience in real
life, and on the internet I have seen FAR more destroyed DRILLED rims
than undrilled. You can't even compare the two.
Between the spoke holes and the drill holes there is a tiny amount of
metal, and that's all you've got keeping your rim a rim. You can't
tell me those little joints between the holes are just as strong as an
undrilled rim. Every instance of a drilled rim failing, that i've
seen, is right at those joints. Not anything to do with the spokes, or
the seam...it's all to do with those joints.
