Honestly, the guy is smart. Too smart to see the simplest solution. All we need is dividers that prevent us from knowing if anyone is next to us. Floor to ceiling, sticking out past the fattest of fat asses. URinal AwkwardneSS could be a thing of the past.

It's true though.. Never will a guy use the urinal next to you if a urinal further away is available.

Same principal as the fact that nobody will sit next to you in the bus if other seats are available.

People don't like strangers getting into their 'personal area' unless the stranger has no other option

His calculations are wrong, he suggests that 4 urinals would be inefficiant but with one either end its 50% (his suggested better), not the 33% he makes out.

4 urinals is not efficient because it fits the same number of people as 3 urinals. Highest efficiency is a person on each end, and one urinal between each person.

EDIT: Also, the 50% and 33% was for large numbers of urinals.
