flat wound strings. I heard that they are bad for your guitar of bass neck and put a lot more tension on your neck than round wounds..is this true or false?

thanks so much guys! I thought it was BS to be honest. I love the sound of round wounds. for the music i play i like the bright and twangy sound..it cuts through the mix..however...ive been thinking about putting flat wounds on.

thanks again everyone!
