your assertion makes sense. somewhat. on the inlet side, the water would likely rush past the first couple of inlets, all things equal. But, in Ben's design, the outlet (suction side) would likely suck from the path of least resistance, i.e., the closest holes, yes? Perhaps this would even things out. Maybe my design would be worse, based on the above logic?
How about this? The center (over the core) should have the highest flow (in theory), but the difference between flow in any of the channels shouldn't be that great.
