I dunno, I think there might be some chicken/egg going on here. To be significantly reductionist, you're describing KOPS, and a range of very traditional road positioning truisms that surround that approach. The physiological basis for at least some of these traditional truisms - IE: the ones that actually work - is reasonably well studied (as you of course know!) and I wouldn't expect different outcomes from that previous work.

As an aside; it would be great if you could just reply in threaded format. I don't think modifying your original posts is particularly conducive to reasoned discussion.
