Oh, dear, that doesn't seem to marry up with the evidence regarding linenlayers that Dan refers to....
Can you give us a better idea of what exactly was being tested and under what circumstances----as an example, tie a piece of armour to a tree trunk and whack it, then tie it to a punch bag and whack it.........totally different results.
Fire an arrow at ten metres, then at fifty metres....different results.
Crude examples, I know, but they illustrate the point. You need to know the circumstances.
