There are no staffs in Belegarth. Because of how they are constructed, they are really Pugil Sticks.

I don't like that analogy. Try this one:
All cars must be safe for driving 150 mph and all cars will be checked for that safety level on the way through Car Check. If some people can build a car that's safe for that speed with fewer parts and a smaller engine and less material in the frame, great. If they can't, no big deal. As long as it's safe. Which it just got checked for.

...because we have a mechanism for testing safety and failing unsafe weaponry. We call it: The Hit Test.
... If something is safe enough to pass Hit, then it's safe. If it ain't, it ain't, regardless of dimensions.
