i'd like to see the same pair of jeans stitched at the same part, one chain, one normal, and then i'd be convinced.

I remember reading on superfuture that the roping effect is created from various factors including chain stitching, leg twist, and shrinkage. So its possible to have roping without chain stitching, but when you combine them the roping is more intense. I tried to find the post but man I cannot find it for some reason.
Typical double locking chain stitching used on denim is actually just as strong as anything out there. If they weren't you wouldn't see them being used in high stress areas like the waist band, ass area, leg openings, etc...
