This wasn't a controlled study. It was a homebrewer's comparison between two wort chillers.
92F is not an arbitrary data point. 92 was 10F over the ground water temperature. This is consistent with the tests JaDeD does (see here).
Not sure what you mean here. I only measured once per minute...
Whether you value the 4 minute savings is your call. We all have different priorities, so it may not be worth the potential additional water to you.
