Standing inside a Rachiele Copper sink

To prove how strong our copper sinks are, I stood inside one of our 14 gauge cold rolled Rachiele sinks. I weigh 240 pounds. The bottom of the sink hardly flexed at all. Rachiele sinks will easily withstand the rigors of daily use with a garbage disposer. Many other copper sinks are made of annealed copper, which is much softer and would have warped out of shape with my weight.

You might want to do some research: 14 gauge cold rolled copper has a yield strength is 51,800 psi compared to 6,700 psi of annealed copper. (12.9 times more - given the same gauge) Yield strength is is an indication of a .2% movement under stress. As you can see, our sinks are significantly stronger. These are not my numbers - Google it and you will find the same information.

not all annealed copper reacts the way you discribe.
