Second- he didn't account for varying manufacturing tolerances to compare like to like ( not uncommon to have an extra turn or end in a spring that just functions as a positioner because its a non critical application.
Third- those are 3 different designs ( notice the angles and bottom coil groups and the uniformness of the Ruger springs) with three different sets of parameters so all lateral testing is invalidated because they have different design reactions to loading.
His diatribe espousing what he thinks he knows is even worse.
This dude makes farm project look like a legitimate PhD. ( at least Farm put a degree of effort and legitimate attempt to design a test)
