Default Hard maple vs hard rock maple?

In article , Steve Steve says...
Although is is considered a soft maple, Red Maple is almost as strong,
hard and dense as sugar maple


Ummm.... no, it isn't. Not even close, actually. Red maple is only about
2/3 as strong and hard as sugar maple, and about 80% as dense.

*Black* maple *is* "almost as strong, hard and dense as sugar maple" but
it, like sugar maple, is considered "hard maple".
