The following discussion is very informative. I do not keep large constrictors myself, thus am another outsider looking in.
As far as looking for credited information, books, magazine articles, caresheets, or whatever you consider substantial information is all written by very experienced keepers, nothing more. There is no laboratory studies on feeding responses in reptiles. Who would finance such a study?

The only thing to do when deciding if an opinion is credible is finding out if that person is credible. While many people in this forum are very experienced, there are many yahoo's here as well. Rob Carmicheal is my endorsement as the most experienced here. His credentials are listed at the bottom of his posts as curator of a reptile zoo in Illinios. There are other awesome keepers here, I just do not know them as well yet
