I can picture a vacuum guage sitting on about 4 inches vacuum and the metering rods letting fuel pour out of the jets.
In this situation, when you formulate your responses, first think about where you are coming from, then from where he must be coming from, and then explain your concept in the context of where he is.
In this case, he has two operative concepts in mind (low RPM, and making power). Unfortunately, the two concepts aren't compatible - in fact, they are diametrically opposed. Now, if you could switch his power concept thinking to be more about engine efficiency, it would be compatible with the low RPM concept and you might have a convert.
You have a good mind and you seem to really care about what is best for the customer. Direct some of your CPU cycles to observing and thinking about how people work and I guarantee you will see the results.
