OK tnx. If he had no other info on the stud/thread behavior, then this really is just a pure guess and who knows what he got for tension. But if he put a dial indicator on each stud and made the stretch per unit length (strain) equal on each stud.... or had some other knowledge that would tell him it would behave that way...... then he did what he intended.
