What is your conclusion that a screw hold two wood better?
Depending on the application, a screw will hold better than a nail. Screws can shear or break under loads that a nail would more easily handle though. This is due to how the two are manufactured. Screws are turned out of the machine that makes them almost as if they are being carved to give them threads which can weaken them. Nails are stamped to form the head and there are no threads, which gives them more strength to withstand loads
