waht steve did was use the scientific process to lower the variables down to 1 - the waterblock
flow restriction was taken into account as waterblocks that restricted flow more performed worse than those that did not
of course flow rates matter, but flowrates are dictated by the pump (kept the same) rad (kept the same) and the waterblock (the variable) so blocks with better designs performed better than those with worse designs who restricted flow

Flowrate does matter, and it was certainly not eliminated as a factor, that's the whole point! Flow rates are dictated by the pump, but are not kept the same.
The specifics for the setup was a requirement. All I saw was an unshrouded mislabelled pic of a BIX (and a bunch of other things that we've all seen). That alone tells me that he wasn't up to speed on a few things, and that goes to the credibility of the entire article.
Flow restriction alone, cannot be equated with performance. Cathar's block is very restrictive, but it will beat all of those blocks. Volenti has a similar design, but less restrictive.
