Mark, I really have no clue as to who this guy is.  In his conclusion, he
says, "In reality, I am an Electrical Engineer with no qualifications in the
area of filtration analysis.  However, I have eyes and some common sense,
which has proven to be enough to accomplish what I set out to do."
Based on what I saw, there are a lot of great filters out there.
Personally, I think most things today are over analyzed.  30 years ago I
never had the benefit of this data (and wouldn't have cared if I did) and my
LBC's did just fine.
IMHO, they must all do a sufficient job based on normal usage.
I'd say make your own judgment on the validity of the data and use it, or
dismiss it.  Don't think it will make a difference either way.

Just my .02.
