@dcaf: There's an actual corporate b.s. generator; it's genius. https://www.atrixnet.com/bs-generator.html

Funny how six of the seven studies tested only men with their narrower Q angle. I'm 5'4" with short legs, and have always disliked the 170mm cranks that came with my vintage RockHopper. My knees aren't too terribly fond of them either. Sheldon Brown, in one of his rare failures, compares cranks to stairs and short people climb the same stairs as tall people, so crank length doesn't matter. Except we don't climb stairs for 30 miles. But the industry builds for taller male riders j(google "reference man"), and women just have to adapt. E.g. Once I discovered the joys of 26" wheeled bikes that actually *fit* me, I refuse to go back to 700c. I was lucky enough to find a Sugino 160mm crankset; they make them in all the lengths, but I could only find the shorter lengths on Sugino's website. I can't wait to put it on my bike.
