It's a good explanation and pretty much what you'd think.. the best way is to minimize people bunching up anywhere. Though I will say I've flown on many of those airlines they list as using "back to front" and they definitely didn't use that method. Southwest being the fastest also makes sense, as people who can choose their own seats will gravitate to open areas rather than waiting for someone to stow their carry-on so they can sit next to them.
