If you get from that that I don't think that there is a magic crank length for a given inseam you would be right. Nor do I think the average person could tell the difference between a 170 and a 175 crank. But lets say it is true. How does the 2.5mm difference in crank length result in a 25mm reduction in seat height?

Not reduction- increase.
But you're right- my numbers are ********ly off. Obviously mixed up my CMs and my MMs in a spot or two.
But what I'd get is a 2.5mm INCREASE in saddle height, if I wanted it (not 25mm), and a 5mm overall decrease in pedal stroke diameter.
