Of course it's inane, this is LFGSS and thus the internet, which is half the fun of it! Do you really find it difficult to change the position of your knees relative to the BB if all other contact points remain the same? Pure curiosity as all of my bikes differ subtly, or quite a bit in the case of my tt and track bikes, none has ever given my knees grief.
Wim, my career overlapped with Merckx, he didn't notice! Many UK clubmen of that era had bars only marginally lower than their saddle and, yes, it did look crap.

If I had a larger frame then the reach would be 20mm longer so would need to be compensated by either an inline seatpost (making my knees in the wrong position) or a shorter stem with a more negative drop to get the correct stack.
If you fit your bikes based on how you think the internet would like to see them then you're definitely doing it wrong.
This is a totally inane conversation.
