Actually No. To reduce weight & increase the flexibility you would just grind or forge it thinner.

Doing it in a central groove fuller, will maintain stiffness of the fullered area while reducing weight.

That's not a theory it is a scientific fact.

Otherwise flat or leaf springs would have often ground central fullers on them & I beams would not be I shaped.

It is very elementary physics.
