Is the g-string the most susceptible to breaking on an acoustic six string steel guitar

Thanks again for debating and judging! :)Signposting:I Dropped ArgumentsII Reinforced Main ArgumentIII Counter ArgumentsIV ConclusionI Dropped Arguments1. My intellectual competitor neglected to address many points in C1. These combine to form a salient argument, because the phenomenon of increased high e-string demand has arisen out of an externality of economic reality: people break their high e-strings more than any other string. This prompts salesmen, and consequently producers, to supply more of the stringed good.2. My rhetorical adversary drops my C2’s point that even if the G-string is “wound,” the winding process fuses the metals together, fortifying the string. This makes a G-string, which has a thinner core than the high e-string, stronger than it. This is the reason the tensile strength is higher for the G-string and more people break the high e-string. My opponent can ignore the manufacturing process of strings, Newtonian physics, and the acoustic guitar players’ consensus, but the argument still stands indomitably. 3. My opponent drops my entire C3, which gives evidence to the fact that more people break the high-e string than any other string. This debate is about whether or not the “g-string [is] the most susceptible to breaking on an acoustic six string steel guitar.” It is not about which string one of us has broken a few times or which string Joe Robinson or Tommy Emanuel has broken most often; it is about which string is most susceptible to breaking on an objective average.II Reinforced Main ArgumentC1: The high e-string is the most susceptible to breaking.Imagine a logger named “logger Mack.” He goes into the forest and spots three trees in a row. The first tree is 13 inches thick, the middle 17 inches thick, and the last 2 feet thick. Which will be the most difficult for logger Mack to fell? Obviously the tree that is 2 feet thick. Logger Mack would have to spend more time and effort chopping at the last tree than the first tree to achieve the desired result, after which he can yell, “Timber!” The same is true for strings. When sweat, finger acids, atmospheric conditions, abrasion, and stress all act upon a taught string, that string will eventually break. The difference is in the chance of breaking in a specified time, which are both directly influenced by the diameter of the string. Therefore, since the high e-string is thinner and relatively more influenced by external strain, it is more likely to break than the G-string.C2: The G-string is more durable than the e and b strings.Because the G-string is has a greater diameter than the e and B strings, it is significantly more resistant to external strain and conditions. Cross-apply my logging example here. The G-string has a higher tensile strength based on the Newtonian physics equation: S = UTS * π * (D / 2)2C3: The most common string broken is the high e-string.This is one of the strongest points of this debate, because it increases the sample size necessary to form a conclusion of an average. In this chart, the high e-string is demonstrated to be the most frequently broken: http://www.yesfans.com...; />III Counter Arguments“The first string I snapped was the g-string. I snapped it by loosening it. Never snapped the high e for that reason.”Again, this is anecdotal evidence. Moreover, it is the hasty generalization fallacy. Your logic goes: 1st broken string was G-string; therefore, G-strings are the most susceptible to breaking. It is clearly fallacious and erroneous on that accord. This reasoning would be like me buying an iPhone, then opening up the contacts application, and upon frustratingly seeing no contacts there, make the assumption that iPhones don’t have contacts.Again, you probably have a defect in your saddle (string rest near sound hole), nut (string rest on the neck), or tuning posts (string tightener in direct contact with string on the neck).I’d take your guitar to a music shop and ask them to examine it after describing the problem.“Most bends are performed on the g-string.”On acoustic guitars, bends are infrequently performed, and single-note-lines often employ no bending or vibrato. The reason why bends, when performed, occur on the e and B strings more often is that it is difficult to bend on acoustic strings, which are of sturdier construction and wider diameters. So, bending on the G-string is more difficult than on the e and B strings, making people bend more frequently on the latter strings, rendering this argument obsolete.“In fact, the b string is harder to break than the g-string. My b string was able to tune up seven frets. Could not accomplish that with the g-string.”Again, this is anecdotal evidence of a single case, and should not be construed to subsume the average. Also, one does not “tune up seven frets;” one tunes up seven half steps. You shouldn’t try that with any string, and this in no way supports your case.“The b string and high e are under less tension than the g-string.”If we buy into your analysis that initial string tension is the most correlated factor with string breaking, then the debate topic you should have posted would concern the susceptibility of the D-string to breakage. Standard tension measurements on the strings show that the D string has more tension than any other string. Why haven’t you asserted the D-strings vulnerability to breakage? http://www.daddario.com...; />[1]“Tension is not how high the string is tuned, it is the amount of force put in to it.”The tension of a musical instrument string is a function of its mass (or weight) per unit of length, the vibrating length of the string, and the pitch of the note produced when the string vibrates. Tuning it higher increases the force load, tuning it lower decreases the force load. [2]“g-string's core is under more strain than the high e according to coleclarkguitars.”If this was the case, then why do more acoustic players break the high e-string than any other string? Because of the factors I’ve stated in my reinforced C1. Also, the text content of Cole Clark Guitars’ website is edited by one person: Cole Clark. He doesn’t state any scientific evidence to corroborate his claims either. Even if that statement applied to all of his company’s manufactured guitar into 100 years into the future, the resolution would still not be affirmed, because the company’s output is so trivial compared to the main acoustic guitar manufacturers: Taylor, Martin, Gibson, Fender, and Ibinez, so the average would remain that the high e-string is the most susceptible to breaking.“In addition, the core of the g-string is more delicate than the high e because it is thinner.”Cross-apply dropped argument 2.“Plain G-Strings are rare on acoustic steel guitar.”This is false. I will concede that the “unwound” or “plain” G-string is not the most common type, but I will not say that it is rare, because it’s not. The structural integrity of a plain or wound acoustic steel G-string is superior to that of a high e-string, making the latter more susceptible to breaking.IV ConclusionA thinner string is more affected by sweat, finger acids, and atmospheric conditions. This aspect is exacerbated by the greater stress the thinner string receives relative to its diameter in playing, tuning, and stringing. This is even further compounded by the highest impact of acoustic strumming (along with the low E-string) and the lowest exerted force needed to break while bending. The high e-string’s standing as the lowest tensile strength string make it the most susceptible to breaking. That’s why, on average, more acoustic players break the high e-string than any other string.It is for all of the previously stated reasons that the resolution is successfully and overwhelmingly negated.Thanks again! :D[1] http://www.daddario.com...[2] http://liutaiomottola.com...
