The Cervelo link is just wrong because they say cyclists sit on the ischial tuberosities, as if there was nothing between that and the pubis. Which is what happens when a company that doesn't make saddle writes articles about saddles.

There's some good research that's been done by the UW Madison Bioengineering department. I also like Finding the Perfect Bicycle Seat by Joshua Cohen
