Yes, that's what I meant to say.
I think the extra surface area helps with strength aswell.
Basically you can not gain strength by removing material, but it can be gained by moving that material...

A fluted barrel of the same weight as a non fluted will be stronger due to more surface area.
If you flute a barrel to lose weight it will be weaker, you will have more surface area but it won't...
