In fact the one I took off was just as stiff  , but did slosh.
I don't think there should be any air inside, air is far more compressible than the liquid, hence more easily compressed, less stiff  |

Here's what I'm doing to test the axis tilt (or lack of it).
Grab the LH thread (as pic below) in left hand and hold it steady. Press thumb of right hand on curved rubber section on the RH side and use the other four fingers to lever the RH thread. Using this method I can push mine a good 3/4" off axis, measured at outer end of RH thread. That's a very big difference to Stephen's mount, which needs a vice to be able to move it at all.
It does seem logical that the more air that's trapped inside the more easily it will twist off axis.

Good question.
