Don - we are all indebted to you for bringing little objective analysis to what is a stubbornly subjective pursit.
Here is another way to think of it in practical terms. Think of the military training exercise where guys beat on each other with a pole which they hold in the middle and which has pads on each end. Do you want the pole's weight on the ends or between your hands? If the pole's weight is distributed towards the ends, it will have a high MOI and you won't be very quick attacking or defending yourself. (I think I got that right).
