Zimm,
I smell it too. I assumed my wife was cooking salmon for lunch though! ;o)

I hate to be a nay-sayer with zero to back it up, but I have used amps for years in car audio. All 100 w/c RMS amps are not the same, and generally 20 w/c does not move a speaker as cleanly as 50 or 80 or 125 equally clean watts. I get that you seldom use all those watts, but in real world applications I think you reach a level of THD or frequency peaking (or something) that kicks some of this math on its nerdy ass. (Just joking, those with actual knowledge!) Maybe it is explained by the frequency abilities of the amps, or some other factor the math does not show bear out in such easy terms.
In sum, you are wrong because I disagree based on zero citable support. Take that.
