I think you're backwards, still -- when the rabbet is at the top, the load causes a deflection downward which introduces tension on the end.
When the rabbet is on the bottom, the support is on the bottom and the bending load is compressive.
Sorry I brought it up, I guess... :)

I was on your side until he explained it a second time and something in my head clicked. If the rabbet is on the top, then the tongue is on the bottom. I kept misreading "rabbet" as "tongue," or at least misenvisioning it.
Full plys on the bottom, shortened plys on the top.

THAT's WHAT I've been saying, all along -- but writing to cross porpoises, I guess. I was writing rabbet when I meant and was thinking of the side dado, sorry.
