I wouldn't discard all of their testing numbers/stats (not saying you are), as they had a TON of information. I have both of their books. Back in 1992 until about 2000 or so I was a firm believer; not a Branch-Davidian style devotion, but I thought along those lines as it appeared to be based on solid foundations. As time has gone by and more shooting data is available (including two wars), it is apparent that their "formulas" for success were lacking. Certainly good "theory" and mostly correct, but penetration seems to be an often ignored (or at least given a back seat) aspect of their suggestions. I think DocGKR's stuff is considerably more valid but at least review Marshall and Sanow's data. I'll bet there is a reasonable amount of correlation at some point.
