I didn’t need proof myself, but I suppose it’s comforting nevertheless to have it mathematically confirmed.

To provide a dissenting opinion, I've always preferred harpsichords to pianos, which is one of the reasons I love Bach so much.

Pianos somehow sound simultaneously harsher than harpsichords with the off-putting initial clunk of the keys, and boringly muted in comparison.

I do love a lot of his music. It’s just difficult to hear the shrill of the harpsichord, for me.

Harpsichord always seems so frilly and thin. Piano has more depth and range of emotion, more dynamics.
