Personally I wouldn't call mechanical action of rubbing to be rinsing. I would have liked to see the % removed, but skimming that article I didn't see. Also in my experience people don't rub for 30 literal seconds, the people I watch are lucky to break 5 seconds.
But the main point I want to make is that baking soda is a base that breaks down the pesticide.
AIEW being alkaline electrolyzed water, which I understand to be baking soda.

AlEW was not the baking soda, it's a separate thing if I understood it correctly.
Additionally you're complaining that nobody rinses their food for 30 seconds while expecting them to bathe it in high ph water for 45 minutes??
Furthermore they were comparing it not with rinsing and running but rather just soaking it in water for 20 minutes.
And despite all that card stacking water still was 69% removal at its high range, which overlaps significantly with the low range of the chemical baths.
I'll keep rinsing and running, thanks.
Alkaline is base pH, which baking soda is. So matching this together with the other things I've read, baking soda solution meets the AIEW criteria.
You don't have to "bathe" (which conjures up imagery of scrubbing the whole time) your produce, you just let it sit. There is a planning factor, but I can plan ahead and let it soak. Takes no more time.
You're comparing high range of one (water) with low range baking soda (which you call chemical bath)? That (along with misleading terms) is bad faith discussion there. So ciao.
