Ron - this certainly MAY be true, but I sure can't fathom why.  I would
think that the narrowest part of a diameter would have EVERYTHING to do
with how well a round pin fit in a bushing.  Are you implying that there
is sufficient 'give' in the bushing to allow for no impingement on the
pin when the wood is 'pushing down' on it, even if only from two,
parallel sides?

Explain to me the errors of my ways!
