I think it's from watching the swimmers that are swimming phenomenally at Worlds. Kukors and Biedermann, for example.
What was his rationale though? You mentioned that he actually felt it helped the swimmers with better technique more. Which as noted goes against the grain of thinking from many coaches and performance gurus (e.g. Jonty Skinner, Salo, Verhaeren, etc.) who feel it's the other way round. Heck the jelly roll postulation has been around since the dawn of the LZR.
