That's the key
If what this guy is saying is true, and most of the studies used to set those thresholds are done by taser companies, then there's a good chance the thresholds aren't accurate.
The more unbiased research that can be done to help law enforcement know the truth about the effects of tasers, the better they can judge when and where to use them and avoid the few incidents where they've been overused.
