meh, I've always felt that the actual value value for the 'golden ratio/mean/wer' is slightly subjective and, more so, dependant on medium.
For instance, how does an exact G.R. dictate colour or information density? Navigation Hierachies? Above/Below Line consistency?
I love the GR and have found it a valuable tool, but I don't think it's worthwhile getting caught up in the exactness of proportionality for what is essentially a nebulous concept. In my mind, at least, the GR is on a bar with 60/40 and 80/20 rules - it's merely the assertion that 'there is a non-arbitrary weighting within this document'.
Quite what that weighting should be is.. in your eyes.
Imo, anyway.
(of course, if you're wanting to portray exacting Greek ideas, then use the ratio)
