We have theories and ideas. None of it is worth more than anyone else's until it is accomplishing something.
I am not opposed to the closed deck conversion. I might prefer to try it with the support structure resting a bit below the deck rather than right at it.
I believe that there is a problem deeper in the block, literally. Cutaways of a VQ demonstrate IMHO some concerning lack of girth and doubt about its ability to hold its shape under extreme torsional loads. There is no limit to what can be done to address it, but the real question is, how little can we get away with?
