Actually, the point was the opposite, that the more compact plates feel heavier. I personally noticed that the closer the weight is to me the harder it is for me to lift it.
Oh ok, there was a guy on youtube explaining that thicker plates are easier to lift because the weight distribution is different. I wonder what was wrong in his calculation as he used some formulas to prove his point.

What did the guy in the video get wrong?
