Boddington did not really state it was the poorest rifling method. He said "it supposedly is the poorest...". That was the caption underneath a picture of a Savage. However, in the article he went on to say that even though button rifling is SUPPOSED to be the poorest, Savages shoot nice. So, I think that may imply he doesn't actually believe that stuff about the rifling. I may not have been very clear on this. Sorry about that.
