How disparaging to a very useful approach.

No suggestion of an ‘everyday’ Bell curve, but a BC sampled from people with good experience.

It's not an approach I've found generally useful. In general, I find it much more common to dislike another's system (be it expensive, thoughtfully assembled, DIY - it doesn't matter) upon hearing it, than to like it. Over the internet, you rely on someone *talking* about their system - one that you probably wouldn't like if you heard it! Although you might say it's better than nothing, from a certain viewpoint it seems utterly ridiculous.

I find it more useful to ignore certain types of talk (and not extreme talk - it's actually the most common sort) and pay close attention to other types (much more rare.) This is the antithesis of statistics. I'm arbitrarily throwing away data!

Jeff, perhaps you have temporarily forgotten that we are attempting to use logic...

Another person missing my admittedly ill-communicated point.

I questioned the comparison because one is not compelled to accept a compromise. It was correctly stated that a lower turns ratio has higher bandwidth, but it was not stated that you could get better than acceptable bandwidth using the higher turns ratio. If the lower turns ratio gets you to 100kHz vs 50kHz, do you get any benefit?

It's an interesting question, but there's no doubt that it makes things easier with regards to lowering distortion and output impedance if you're not superstitious about the "f" word.
