Scott,
I'd be interested in seeing this "proof" you've found...and something to remember is that Koni valves the shocks differently for every car. In my case, the Konis were valved specifically for use with my car/engine and Whiteline springs. Konis are not even really designed to be "adjusted"...although they advertise them like that
If you talk to a Koni dealer, the real idea behind the adjustment is to stiffen them up as they wear. So far, I've had mine for over a year and they're just as stiff today.
But you're right...the Konis can go from rock solid to floppy in just a couple of turns. But they're not as easy to adjust in the rear...unlike the Tokicos.
In any case, I don't need to go back and forth about this. Opinions are like
s...everyone's got one.
