True, What you say Bruce. But look at it this way...If you use a bolt with the full face width and a bolt plate with the recesses you will not be losing any surface area over the last version because there is already less bolting area with that design already. The channels add nothing to bolting surface area they only add a little lateral support.
But at least we agree that this is not a fix for the home mechanic.
