Sure, I agree with you. Lots of people in the thread agree with you, but the OP has persisted in probing the question. I suggested a way that he could objectively measure the effect for himself.

Actually the way I read his post he didn't imply there was an advantage, but only that there wasn't a disadvantage. That is probably putting to fine of a point on it though
I didn't mean to criticize your proposal. If the user really wants to know it would be a good way to test how it worked for himself. It would probably have little relevence to anyone else though. If one rider who is used to pedaling a particular way did the test I could imagine the test being skewed in favor of the way he is used to pedaling, especially if he happens to have poor form which seems likely in this case.
