Liquid nails..

Pegged, glued and clamped. === Period
A PVA long-grain edge joint w/ fitting edges will be stronger bond than
the wood itself (that is, the wood will break before the glue line fails
in the majority of cases). Dowels are of some use for alignment
purposes, but of very little necessity for strength.

However if you flex the resulting joined boards until "something"
breaks, the break will be right at the glue joint rather than a few
inches away from it. ...

Not at all necessarily...
