True, but I think the article in question was about bikes with drop bars and so, which mainly comes down to the relative position of a drop bar vis-a-vis the seat,. Other types of handlebars, not to mention entirely different frame styles etc (what about recumbents?) will have different ways of sitting and therefore different ways of fitting.
