You'd also use soap elsewhere.

Absent soap, I'd rather use paper than just water. I'd bet it's strictly more hygienic too. Moving water spreads stuff everywhere.

Maybe, but it seems in practice that either option is fine hygiene-wise - there surely would be definitive proof one way or the other by now, given widespread use, of there were issues?

There's a paper about parachutes and problems with proving they prevent death that seems applicable here.

Not really relevant, given that a huge fraction of the world uses bidets. Unless you're implying that a huge portion of the world is eschewing parachutes and apparently doin' OK.
