also the apparent post crash analysis of FAA data says the same thing

It very much depends on the circumstances, as is indicated in both articles. If the fuselage is ripped to pieces it is likely to occur close to the wing so if that happens to be your row you're sol even though the rows right before and after you may survive. In the TK crash the back was not a good place to be.
