It doesn't matter, Brad. That is false logic. Everything restricts flow in a system. The turns that a channel makes restrict flow. 90 Degree barbs restrict flow. The fact is that you are cutting up the flow into a bunch of small pieces, kinda like sticking your finger over a hose. Granted, like you said, the width of all the cut up channels added is greater than that of the normal channel width. However, it will still restrict flow. I'm not saying it wouldn't work well... just that it is very flow restrictive.
