Given the same geometry and stiffness (within reason), a lighter bike is more pleasant to ride, period.
What’s wrong about it? From a physics standpoint it actually makes a lot of sense.

I really have no dog in the fight because I’ve never ridden one these ultra light bikes that’s mentioned but I don’t see how the physics is unsound.

What about the statement is wrong?
