Not really, the argument is bogus. I also haven't tried cycling a century without a saddle on the seat post to figure out that it would be a shakey way to enjoy cycling except for a special type of cyclist.
I also don't need to experiment with high wheelers, unicycles and/or pimped out cruisers with a continental kit to doubt/rebut the wisdom of those who think they have discovered the key to a higher order of commuter cycling through fetishes, fads, masochism or asceticism.
