Your post was helped clarify what I wasn't understanding and also raised some interesting points. Have you seen the more recent Bicycle Quarterly testing? I have my own issues with their testing but it does help provide a rounder, more real world viewpoint. I also found this test extremely interesting from a few months ago: https://www.velonews.com/2018/06/fro...-gravel_468329
It uses purely PSI which is less than ideal, but as far as real world dirt roll down testing it's one of the few I've seen. Without reporting sag numbers as a reasonable facsimile to suppleness there's still a massive blind spot.
