0.007m^2? So just so I can picture that, thats an 8.3cm x 8.3cm square reduction. I don't understand how that's possible with a 7.5mm reduction in crank length. Am I missing something?

You're probably missing the fact that they raised the saddles to keep leg extension the same for all crank lengths, but didn't touch the bars. That effectively increased the saddle to bar drop, which would have changed the torso angle.

Ok, well if we're going to include optimisations to rider position on top of swapping the cranks then I can believe that.
