Jerry, have a look at the Nox Composites website under Technology-Wheel Building (Vertical Compliance and Carbon Rims), sorry, can't attach link for some reason. It exactly supports what you think.[](https://www.noxcomposites.com/wheel_building)
Unless I missed it though, doesn't Zipp state more of a twisting deformation (not just compression) of the rim as well along the vertical plane...so maybe there is more deformation at the corners than we think, like maybe 10 mm?
Edit: "Ankle Compliance" as stated by tdc_worm below and on Zipp's website.
