Now you're just being obtuse. I know you like to argue, but this is a little ridiculous.

We don't know what metric he used to set his saddle height. He hasn't shown us any pictures of himself riding the bicycle or posted anything other than his height. As I stated earlier, cycling inseam is a better metric than height to determine where the saddle should lie. Of course, that measurement should be part of a complete body measurement to get the most comprehensive fit.

Using the 109% measurement gave me a good starting point for fine tuning. I actually went down about 3mm and have been that way for a few weeks. I feel I've got it pretty dialed in with knee angle approaching 25 degrees and good comfort over long rides.
