Cooper beat me to it.
I don't gouge, I buy my cane pre-gouged. My source offers a range of gouges which includes a variation in the centre thickness to side thickness ratio. This does affect the eventual curvature of the reed, and the thinner the sides, the easier it is to flatten the reed, and therefore flare the sides.
My guess is that any excess pressure other than what you would normally put on the gouger would take extra from the closest and also the weakest point - the sides. So perhaps the profile of the gouge changes with extra pressure.
