Not my point sir,you misread what I am saying, I am talking torque and how it pertains to the concentricity of the bore. I have swapped out bolts for studs and used the same torque value. Yes studs are an advantage over bolts even at the same torque (which is why I did it) but its a bigger advantage if you align hone the block and use the higher torque that arp recommends, obviously having even more clamping force.
