A stronger resistor is one that is less likely to break. Isn't it?
Indeed, "stronger" is a really poor description to use for a resistor,
unless describing its mechanical strength. However, in the context of
pull-up and pull-down resistors, we do sometimes speak of weak
pull-ups, so I suppose a strong pull-up could be the opposite. So, in
this LIMITED context, one might say that the lower valued resistor
would be the 'stronger' one. I would not call it a stronger resistor,
but might call it a stronger pull-up or pull-down (resistor).
I don't recall seeing "strong" used elsewhere to describe a resistor's
value, and I would not recommend using it without clear explanation.
