Just because you do not find it to be true does not mean it is not, as I said nobody knows read data from Disney.
I did not go in January but I did after Labor Day and most of the rides were just a walk on, just my experience, not a scientific data of course. As for TSM, FP do not fly out in a morning anymore, according to many peoples reports, during busy times they were still available around 3-4PM, only logical to assume you will have even better luck during slow times. Soarin was also available around 3PM, I assume when TT will reopen, situation may be even better. So, yes you can do much more during slow time then during July, one of the main reasons people go.
As for less available during slow times, you get what you pay for, if it's not enough, pay more and get more.
That's news to me. They were gone by 11 on the day after Memorial Day on our last trip, and that was with a 10pm park close. In the slow season, with 25% fewer FP to distribute based on the earlier closing, I'm sure they go just as quickly. I haven't seen more than one or two reports of longer availability and I've never seen one that had FPs available at 4pm; what I saw reported was along the lines of being able to get them at 11-12 where they used to be gone around 10.
And how far is the "you get what you pay for" argument supposed to go? You only pay less for one element of the vacation - room rates - while park tickets and other costs remain the same. And you already get significantly less of an experience for the money. That's hardly justification for even further cuts.
