are pulled handles stronger?

I was giving a demo to a class on different types of handles. One of the
students said she'd heard that pulled handles are much stronger than say slab
or coiled handles because of clay particle alignment. Sounds good to me but I
want to check an authority on this one before passing it on to other students.

TIA
