I'm wondering why you would assume it *wasn't* raining during the week I had the saddles?

Two of my four 30-mile tests were done in the rain -- if I didn't ride in the rain, I wouldn't ride much.

I would want a month to try that many saddles! At least 2 weeks, minimum.
I assume it's just a numbers game. Rather than pick and choose which saddles go to which potential customer, they just have a package that goes out to anyone who wants a saddle trial. I don't think the idea is that anyone really wants to try all 12; the idea is to put enough saddles in a package that a reasonable number of people are satisfied.
