      At first I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized that I think he means rigid. It’s not crazy rigid at that thickness, but over time it should not move like solid wood, and that means it is stable.

      It crumbles at the edges and it will sag with humidity/etc. It's a powder and glue cake. Lacks the inherent structure of wood. It is more stable in terms of dimensional rigidity in a dry environment, but is overall definitely weaker than wood.

I have had both pointer fingers injured my thumb slammed between the exposed metal on a car door and finally a Glass exploding in my hand from my job which managed to cut my ring finger and my pinky and my palm so as far as hand related injuries I think I take the cake I have yet to lose a finger but time will tell if I will. Im still working at the job in which the glass exploded in my hand.
