The defenseless th11 doesn't bring an advantage but a disadvantage since a th10 or th11 can usually 3* a th9. When I leave the th11 out It's th9 vs th9. From my example defenseless no longer brings in a "huge" advantage.
An advantage? maybe, sometimes, but no longer huge. My personal belief is that engineering is the new scape goat for why poor attackers lost the war and some come to the forums to complain about it.
