I think the point is that most people simply say "gear for 30-35mph" and that's it, and then the user has to go find the right combination that will achieve that end. The 1:1 rollout would be just a decent starting point in place of (or to complement) the 30-35mph rule. Really, both rules produce very similar results; one is based on experience, the other on an actual calculation.
