Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?

I put this point, but nowone responded, so I will ask again. Maybe nobody has any opinion on this, but a cardinal point as I understand it, of Cardas products, is the use of the Golden Section as I learnt about it, or Golden Proportion as I believe it is also called. As I eluded to, the idea has been around for centuries and has strong advocates. So, is it relevant in considering the Ayre blocks, made by Cardas I believe

Shoot me down in flames here, but is'nt the main point about the Ayre/Cardas blocks not the wood bit(be it myrtle, apple MDF), but the golden bit. I don't use Cardas, but he works on the principal of using the Golden Section. I won't bother to explain it, there is a good bit on it in the Da Vinci Code, if you can get through the rest of the book.
The blocks are made(sorry sawed in bits)in golden section proportions. I am not sure if that is snake oil, but tend to think that if it was good enough for genii like Leonardo or Poussin, it's good enough for me
