Graham i am curious for your reasoning
I thought that as well but i think starting the lift from a dead stop and not being as deep has somehong to do with it. Tbh all that matters is if they HURT your knees
Probably different kinds of stress. Some people more sensitive to the dead stop start stress of box squats and some to the bouncing stress of full squats.

>a 100kg squat puts more stress on the knees than a 200kg box squat
I don't care who or what you cite but there is no way in the world box squats stress the knees more than free squats
In a free squat there is a rapid change in direction.
Also the angle on the knee joint is not as acute with a proper box squat, yet the lifter makes legal depth will all of the involvement of the hips, hammies and back. Making legal depth with a free squat usually involves the knee moving forwards, and there is greater opportunity for hyperflexion of the knee to occur. That is snapology territory.
I use them raw to reduce the amount of stress on the knees as my body can't handle too much ballistic transitioning any more
