Are rubble hexes better protection than undemolished stone buildings?

Has anyone tested this?

Even if this is the case, I think occupants of stone buildings have a chance of casualties when the building is destroyed and reduced to rubble. Though IIRC, the casualties (due to building colapse) are now far less than they used to be in older versions.

It's amazing the info that can be found in the Game Guide

BUILDINGS

Buildings provide cover, especially if of stone construction. Vehicles can drive through building hexes, but may become broken down as they collapse. Collapsing buildings may cause casualties to infantry etc, but a collapsed building (rubble) hex is quite good cover, again stone rubble is better
