This makes sense.
Your legs are only so long, so if you had long femurs and short tibia for example you could make an argument that ***relative to your riding position*** more distance would have to be in the form of set-back vs saddle height. (ie, distance in horizontal plane vs vertical plane)
Of course we all know that you can rotate about the BB too which modifies things, but the relationship as a series of levers and pivots still remains essentially the same biomechanically.
