There's actually a lot of research on track cycling, probably more than the road.
Tobukog, I'm a little confused by your post: Are you saying that you disagree with the short crank thingy? Or are you saying you wish they hadn't laid that out so your competitors can benefit from the short crank idea? I do have one buddy who has gone below 165 (considerably) and is liking it, so there's anecdotal stuff around.
