Huh?  Can you give some basis for that statement?

The "ruggedness" I assume that's being talked about comes from lots of
non-straight lines in the characters, and bold-italic has the same general
shape as the italic -- and so the same non-straight lines.  However in many
bold-italic fonts, instead of just a simple single-pixel (jagged) line, you
actually end up with an attempt to represent a thicker line of varying
thickness, which ends up looking even worse.
