Fair enough. But as you concede, this is all pretty subjective, which is why I objected to the "razor saddles are actually better for you" talking point which always comes from (coincidentally washboard-habituated) serious cyclists. I too am a serious cyclist, I've ridden all kinds of saddles, from razor washboards to recumbents. And as it happens, the most comfortable yet (recumbent aside), on which I've ridden 1500 km this year, including a bunch of 80 km stages, was what you dismiss as a "cushion saddle" that "will cause discomfort". It just doesn't. So this is all just anecdote.
