For people who know the proper terminology, there is no such
thing as a "window" in a hull.

As for weaker, that depends on whether the "window" material
is as strong as the hull, and how well it's fastened in place.

I guess if you assume that the "window" is of poor material
and improperly assembled, then yes.

Another possibility is that a poorly made "window" could
actually be a strong point in an even more poorly made hull.

Actually, there is.
