It's disrespectful and sheer folly of me to debate something your own experience proved to be fact, Mike. I do concur with what Reid said, however. The change you introduced moved the stress to a different part of the bicep, hence the growth spurt. Perhaps the comfort the EZ bar extends to you changed the way you approached your bicep workouts.
Eh, you can debate it, that's what public forums are for
Back in high school, when I first started to lift weights, using the ez-curl bar was my main bicep exercise. I had pretty big arms by the time I got to college. After a long absence of lifting, I started again in Nov. Used a straight bar, but my arms didn't feel pumped, and my wrists would hurt. Switched to the ez-curl, arms pumped, wrists no longer hurt. For the heck of it, I measured my arms... 17 3/4 inches, not bad. I should have done a before though to get an accurate assessment.
While certain generalizations about weightlifting will be made, and should be followed, you have to recognize what works best, since we are all different
