Well, the joist loses perhaps 25 % of its strength to the big hole, as opposed to some 75 % to the bottom notch. It's still fair to call it "much better".

    It also “won’t pass inspection” and it has the additional effect of “making your property worthless without repairs”.

    Additionally it might still “kill you” when the fridge slides over and tips on top of you when your floor is suddenly 28 degrees sloped downward because it cracked in half.

    Imagine dying pinned under your own couch because you did this thinking it made your house stronger
