I actually wrote an article that references the article you linked to: [Handlebar Width & Staying Gracious](https://nsmb.com/articles/handlebar-width-staying-gracious/). I'd sum it up by saying that the take away from both articles should probably be - try different things even if you're happy with your current setup.
Hand position is different enough that there's certainly more to it than just mathing \[sic\] out a fit.
I'm generally on the same length stem with the 12° and a 1cm longer stem with the 16° but that's my starting point and I end up with different setups on different bikes relative to 7-9° 'standard' bars.
