Default strength of timber

Strengthening joists by adding additional timber, glueing and screwing. Will
the new 3 inch timber be ....significantly.... weakened if first, a three
eighths diameter hole is drilled three quarters down, the screw driven
through into the lower piece, and then the hole filled by a tight fitting
three eighths wooden plug glued in place?

Just wondering..

ZD
