Yep, but the velcro has that wee bit of give in the hook\wool joint that makes it irrelevant. Theoretically you could make a disk covered in velcro completely the size of the mirror and have an 'infinite' number of support points which would be perfect .... theoretically. As far as I can figure out there is virtually no stress between the mirror and the suppports because of this slightly flexible no-strain connection.
And it is stronger in a supported weight position.

That's my story anyway ...
