There is. The process starts with design then testing. That gets the saddle into the market but it’s still up to you to find the optimum fit.
I got fixated on getting a “good” pair of RedWing boots. The midsole started disintegrating after a few years and I’ve held them together with a tube of ShoeGoo. They still work well and lasting longer than Merrils that cost half as much but what I remember as good boots really doesn’t matter just like pictures of old bikes with leather saddles really doesn’t matter when the issue is what works best for you.
