It seems to me that a base stuffed full of wax would be like a wet sponge held against your face to protect you during a punch, and a base without wax would be like a dry sponge held to your face to protect from the same punch.
the water in the sponge would absorb some of the punches energy/momentum.
I assume a ski base “soaked” with wax would show the same principle.
