I can't speak for Tom, but my concern for other cyclists' saddle height is borne much less out of smugness and more from my memories of knee pain caused by having the saddle outside of the narrow range that works for me. It's genuine concern, but I'm obviously not going to walk up and insist on fixing the bikes of people whose knees are practically hitting their chests if they seem content with it.
