There are some of those comments in this thread too... this page actually.
We have talked about this before, but the vast majority of people who mention your tank think that it is full-out success and that everybody can do the same thing with anything that they want. You have opined before that this is not your total intent. I think that too few people understand what we have discussed in these past few posts that the thriving corals in these conditions are a subset. I have opined that I don't think that you are clear enough about what is going on and you do have more of a responsibility to do just that since you have put yourself in a position of an authority with the articles and speaking engagements, but also struggle since it seems that nobody can really teach anybody anything that they don't want to learn (like how N and P are not food). I could make the case that the other flippant comments have come from your lead as an authority... it would be over-ruled as argumentative, but it should/could make you think a little bit since you appear to be an intelligent and thoughtful dude.
I cannot recall one person who referenced your tank, articles or presentations mentioning to other people that you can have great results with higher N and P if you are willing to let go the things that will waste away and just focus on those that make it.
I would especially like people to understand that the amount of ammonia/ammonium in the tank from the NPS feeding is what is helping the corals with nitrogen, and not the residual level of no3, but this is a P thread, so I will just leave it at a single run-on sentence.
