      very early versions of that "boat stud" had in fact slightly smaller holes, but still big enough for a pole. This is different from for example very early inverted slopes, where the holes where in fact way to small.

      @@krzysiekchinbeard4442 There are certain techniques which don't apply stress to parts, but still wouldn't be allowed in an official set due to either being too loose or just not being a very good connection.
      There's also the various techniques using minifigure arm, leg, and hand pieces which have been separated from their original parts. Those don't apply stress in and of themselves, but removing them requires a bit more force than is normally acceptable.

    I have to say the first technique very well may be illegal. You can see the orange modified tile’s studs sort of clip into the adjacent orange tile, which suggests strain on the parts somewhere in the system. I would guess the stress is taken by the clips, which could weaken or break them over time.
