Jeremy, you are quite welcome for my brief comments.  And I thank you for
your interesting 'article.'  On a somewhat related note, I think it
would be interesting if players had 3 ratings calculted for Western Chess.
 Overall Rating, Black Rating, and White Rating.  It would be interesting
to see what players had for a rating when given the 'initiative of
white.'  Could a 2000 rated player (white rating) have a black rating of
only 1800?  I doubt that.  If a player excelled at the French Defense as
black, would that player likely have a higher black rating?  Seems
logical.   When I played in the 9 round World Open in 1980, for example, I
started all my Black defenses with e6 (going into French Defense
patterns).... I lost no games with Black pieces (all wins, except 1 draw),
and had one loss when playing White (a gruelling 7 hour long game), and one
draw as white.  Anyway, I would have emerged with a higher black rating. 
Of course, if I was worried about White's 'initiative' I'd likely not
have done as well with black.

In regard to your question about Adorjan's black/white results.  No, I do
not know what they are.  But, I do know that Adorjan was qualifier for the
Chess World Championship Candidates in 1980... unfortunately for him, he
was eliminated by Huebner.

Interested players can read about Adorjan and view many of his games
(including many fantastic wins with black pieces) at this site:
