Might help if one reads the referenced article. As it happens there is a lot of experimental evidence to show that the premium bullets perform better than classic bullets when the product of depth and diameter is considered.

The wisdom about how large that wound channel needs to be goes back to our Mesolithic (5,000 BC) ancestors and has continued through to today. Most of us didn't know that but a team of astute archeologists made the connections. The reference and discussion are in the Ideal Bullet Weight paper.
