Yep, as I have said before you cant easily design every element of a machine without masses of engineering know how and expensive FEA software so the best approach is to over engineer the frame.
Bear in mind that it is often cheap and easy to pickup large section off cuts and the only true freebee is time so building massive frames that take awhile will be a cost saving for most people.
Most of the overbuilding seems to be from advice on here anyway ;0)
