Am I on to something, or just stupid?

Ignore my last post, my computer is drunk. Anyways after skiing 4 pairs of skis last year in this order el reys, chronics, halos, and Thalls, I had this theory about cambered vs rocketed park skis, with the el reys they held rails really well and were really easy to spin with off of rails, but too stiff for me, so I traded my buddy for 2013 chronics but I found that I would be slipping off the rail more than usual and they didn't seem to grab as well to spin off, then I got halos and experienced a lot of the same as with the chronics, then at the end of the season I rode some thalls (current ski now) and I got that hold back on rails and was able to spin 4s off with basically no drop as I could with the el reys. So the bottom line is I had the theory that since the thalls and el reys have a lot of camber it helps you hold the rail better, because if you think about it, its basically an upside down U shape and that should hold a rail better than a more rocketed shape (I know halos and chronics still have camber but not nearly as much)... If this made sense to one person I'll be happy enough haha, hopefully I'm not the only one who has ever noticed this
