 Actually No.  To reduce weight & increase the flexibility you would just grind or forge it thinner.
Doing it in a central groove fuller, will maintain stiffness of the fullered area while reducing weight. 
That's not a theory it is a scientific fact.
Otherwise flat or leaf springs would have often ground central fullers on them & I beams would not be I shaped.
It is very elementary physics.
