Of course, assuming your testing was properly done, and it looks like it was but other people may want to check themselves, then the statement in the article is not properly written down/posed.

We can say Pikes are more cost effective vs cavalry than Berserkers are, due to the former being overall cheaper and costing no gold. Berserkers could only benefit from Chieftains to make them overall better units as countering certain light and medium cavalry should be easier, nonetheless they are not to be mistaken as your only infantry unit to be massed, let alone as pike substitutes. Some have stated chieftains is too expensive for what it gives, and cannot manage to make the berserkers better units and stop the overshadowing opinion the community has of them. Your test seems to confirm that.
