Two things struck me about the study. First the comparison of but four saddles is much too small a sample to adequately compare the wide range of saddles out there. Second, if what is stated in the 2nd paragraph of the introduction is correct, "Studies from rough terrain and vibrations of the saddle cause repeated micro trauma to the perineum...", is remotely accurate, then they've opened the door for a strong argument that wider tires with lower air pressure is a good thing.
