Rigidity isn't necessarily a good thing:

It is in the application the OP posted about.

The OP has not so far said what was the 'application' he had in mind but
has only provided a link to the corner braces I am describing in my post.


I used zinc plated corner braces to hold picket fence panels I made to
their posts. The posts are in metal spike sockets. This is on a
bottleneck in a narrow lane, and even though it is kept bright white the
posts get hit once or twice a year. Most of the time the braces just
distort and allow the fence to move without the wood breaking. Then I
wrap a tourniquet around the whole thing and wind it back up again.
Irritating but better than smashed.

Also note that if you are bracing the corners of a box you are going to
have to bend 4 at once.

But you would probably have some panels attached giving a lot more
leverage and make it much easier.

And how would you make a box without panels?
If corner braces did not brace there would be no corner braces for sale.

What exactly are you arguing about?
All the above is obvious and doesn't change what I said.
