I took a look at this and found it very interesting. It shows how complicated the acoustics of a guitar really are.
But what can you conclude from it?
He seems to provide evidence that an asymmetric design will give a more even response than a symmetric one.

I've always done variations of the Torres fan, maybe its time to try something more like the Fleta style.

You can build asymetrical using a symetrical layout. Its a matter of working the braces with different thickness. FX the treble braces stronger than the bass braces. It´ll make the top funcion in an asymetrical way
Fleta is a very heavy system and I dont think its the best one for flamencos
