Assuming I'm following what you're asking: It's design based on the presence of a sheathing product on the faces of the studs. The gypsum, or whatever board, add structural value to the assembly.
If you have to ask the question, you shouldn't be doing it.
so i saw 2 wall details, they looked the same metal stud and 5/8 gyp both sides. so assume by the article above, one detail uses the gyp to make it stronger eventhough they both say non bearing. a lighter, cheaper stud can be used, right.
