Great discussion here (although it's hard, I'm trying to watch Ken get to 1 million dollars on Jeopardy-I should be working).
I believe that the amounts of protein that the body can process at one time has been greatly over-exaggerated (greatly due to the word of supplement producers and magazines which are influenced by the former). I am aware that digestion is secondary to muscular in "blood precedence", but having a partially full stomach would still take away from the rest of the body, which explains the sluggish or lethargic feeling that many athletes feel while training too soon after a meal. But since the body puts the digestion/absorption on hold, you're asking for the excess protein to be stored as fat.
Again, I think that we do agree on quite a bit of this (but a few numbers). I don't believe we're as far apart as one would believe by reading this post-hell, we may be counting hairs at this point.
I will be the first to apologize that it did appear that I took some things out of context---I hate when people do that to me, and I could've used your entire ranges, as opposed to framing my argument by using your upper numbers.
I do respect your opinion and credentials, but I'd guess it's just safe to say that we agree to disagree.
