George,
While I won't argue with your theory one bit, I think equating Polyurethane with "Solid" is a mistake. Poly comes in a huge range of durometers, some of it is like hard plastic and others can be softer than the natural rubber used in most bushings.
For example, most of the Poly bushings we sell at Centerline are only 15-20% stiffer than the stock rubber they replace. That firms up the suspension a bit but is nowhere near "Solid".
