The “sausage efffect” has nothing to do with base girth gains experienced by hangers.

Look that you are confounding yourself : more layers do changes nothing, the analogy with the balloon still stands. Tunica expands more at base because it is less elastic there.
It can’t be a growth of smooth muscle causing base girth gains because:
a) smooth muscle growth would cause a growth in the whole penis (and expecially at mid shaft, actually);
b) hanging is unlikely to cause smooth muscle growth; actully hangers wrap the penis to void it from blood; mainstream hangers pull the tunica, without expansion of smooth muscle;
c) is well know that extensive hanging cause a loss in EQ, where a growth in smooth muscle would cause a raise in EQ;
d) base expansion is seen immediately after exercising: hang a very high weight from your penis and when you relief the weight your penis will fatten at the base; the same immediate base girth expansion is seen with pumping, clamping and even with intense manual stretching; with fulcrum stretching, instead, you would see immediate girth expansion where the force is mostly applied - at mid shaft, typically.
So, you are doing both a logical and factual mistake. You are doing a logical mistake because you desperately want to believe that is smooth muscle (which can be increased just using chemicals) causing growth in size; you are doing a factual mistake because you have never tried things you keep speaking of - hanging, stretching, clamping etc. - and never read a lot about penis anatomy and other stuff either.
