A summary comment from Stephen Chung :

In the end, it appears that you can be fairly similar in efficiency and performance between the range of 80 – 100 rpm, so a higher cadence may not be as big a deal as it seems.

You've taken the comment completely out of context. I suggest that those interested read the entire article and citation; and interpret the comments of the article themselves.
The article is interesting and an 'interpretation', the citation is a bit more straight forward and worth pursuing... so I've request a full copy of the study.
Thanks for the reference...
Ride On
