the original construction, in that each replaced rivet is sealed underneath
the rivet head."

I think that he means that the Olympic rivet with Vulkem underneath is
superior in sealing to the buck rivets without,  not that they are stronger
in holding power.  The topic was which was a better seal, with washers or
without.  He wasn't even discussing holding strength, per se.
