Do you have evidence (i.e. randomized, blinded) that uberman actually does work?
I'd be really interested to see it, all I have managed to find is evidence that some people who do it believe that it works well for them, which isn't at all the same thing.
Polyphasic sleep schedules are interesting, but I've always thought these extremely short cycles were problematic.

Of course you're right, behavioral studies make subject blinding (nearly?) impossible. Typing quicker than thinking there, I'll edit original for clarity.
