W1zz doesn't work for AMD designing cards either but I am willing to take his word for it that there is probably enough overhead for a higher OCP limit. And even if he is wrong, there are lots of cards out there to choose from with a beefier power section.

Your dismissal of OCCT as a valid application is illogical.
I did no such thing.

What is misrepresented is that this card is able to function in a stable manner at the specified frequency.
Feel free to dig up some product literature that says that.

If you are reading these forums indeed 1%< you. If you are posting here your part of an even smaller group. I didn't wan't to be the guy to say it but this is "Xtreme systems", not "Good enough systems" or "Mildly defective systems".
The 99% represents normal users. I said "the rest of us" in describing extreme users, clearly including myself in the group of OCCT users and overclockers (ie. the 1%). How was that not clear from my posts?
