Ok, I searched and have not found that study on water. Again, I said it was years ago. My recollection was the article was in "Old Cars Weekly". Also, I remember a reference to No-Rosion which can be used with or without anti-freeze to eliminate corrosion. You can simply Google water in cooling systems and find it cools better than 50-50. Again, most of us don't have a pressurized cooling systems in our A's. Sure Ford offered anti-freeze for sale, but what year did that begin and it was alcohol? If modern technology surpasses yesteryear why do you care about past studies? How does "modern technology" affect water anyway? Just do your thing.
For me it's not difficult to deal with water only and add rust inhibitor. If it's unwise, that's only true if you can't remember to do what's necessary.
Relative to not using long-life antifreeze this is one of the references:

In the end, do whatever you're comfortable with as that's what I'm doing (twenty Model A's later)!
