Good laughs back when and to get the bike shop owner riled up. If anything, would straddle the bike, firmly apply brakes and keep it static, put pressure on the Campy record crank and watch it 'rubber band.' Nothing to do with the solid bb spindle.
Any Ti spindle will flex more when the same OD. I have some ti Teledyne spindles- one purchased new- very much provided chain rub.
material properties cannot be overcome without dimension change.

I did use the Teledyne ti bolts, procedure was torque with steel, remove and replace with the lightweight parts.
