"There's just this thing about a Teres armboard that seems to work, is all."...but we don't know how much better/worse/different things would have sounded had the cantilever design not been used.
again, if we are optimistic, the designer(s) tried all routes and selected the one which sounded best - but we know that at least for some TT designs the nod is given to the aesthetic.
while it might be miniscule, i don't think it's conjecture that a cantilevered anything will vibrate more at the "free" end vs. the point where it is attached to something else. this might not matter in some designs, but i think it's hard to argue from a physics perspective -- it's simply a mass located further away from the origin of the vibration.
the ultimate proof is in the sound, and this is all just conjecture not because the scientific theory is lacking but, mainly, because we are not listening to 2 otherwise identical designs but for the cantilevered/non-cantilevered armboard.
