This is makes those results more dangerous than the recommendations of the dealer, who most know to take with a grain of salt.
To be fair I don't think that Grim ever intended himself to become a definitive source or that he ever tried to represent his results as scientific. I've got the impression more than once that he is uncomfortable with it for many of the same reasons you are.
