How thick should the front baffle of speakers be?

Some manufactures advertise or hype a thick front baffle, two layers of MDF, if the woofer is as thin as paper cone how could it change anything. Could be just hype

If the cabinet does not effectively deal with the waves off the back of the drive they will just bounce off the cabinet and the back of the drive. They bounce through that paper thin cone and ruin you precious sound. Hell you pay big bucks for your source and pre and amps and then the speakers reward you with crap.

This however creates the problem of cabinet vibrations and rear waves being passed out the thin paper cone. Only solution is an infinite baffle with no cabinet.
