ETA: Does it really save any energy?

Marzocchi's ETA feature lets the rider lower a 100mm fork by about an inch and
reduce the travel to an inch.
I'm not sure whether the claimed benefit is change in bike attitude, less energy
absorbed by bobbing, or both.
But thinking about the bogging aspect, it seems like it might be a matter of
longer travel through less resistance vs shorter travel through greater
resistance. If that's true maybe the energy absorbed is a wash.
Anybody?
