I didn't say heavier. I said dense. I wasn't making a comment about the strength.

I also said dense. Particle board comes in many densities (as does wood). The range of both of them overlaps, so there is no way to make a sweeping comment that one is more dense than the other.

Come on man...

You're being pedantic. Yes if you choose the least dense wood you can, and the most dense particle board, sure. 👍.

Well you made a very strong statement to someone: “that’s just false.” And you were not correct. Correcting that with actual nuanced information is not being pedantic.
