Cool. Seriously.... I'll pass on what you said to Sam over at USA Cycling. I mean, if they're promoting the authors, and the data behind the authors aren't sound, then they should know about it, since they tell all their coaches to pretty much use these authors as their foundation for training.
My background is in biological sciences and in writing. I know about research, and so far, the information gleaned from these authors have done more to push athletes in the States to superior levels. I've been satisfied with the data and information produced by them, as well as USA Cycling, but again, I'll pass along your thoughts and ask for some official comment about your claims of their lack of data to back up their information.
