I can attest that this piece IS a solid. As opposed to liquid or gas or plasma.
Like everything else in the catalog. But why is it in the name? It makes me
wonder if it was meant to differentiate from hollow. The ones I have are hollow.
Are some not?

I guess "solid" as opposed to the pillars/supports that are latticed or whatever?
"Solid" seems to be the keyword used for supports that are substantially the
same thickness from base to top.

Once upon a time, I built a LEGO castle. And I discovered that my castle stands
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand: https://youtu.be/dvgZkm1xWPE?t=62

I agree with peregrinator about the name differentiating the part against pillars
or columns that have lattice or other highly textured surfaces. Maybe this part
would be better described as round and/or smooth?
