You hear, but you can not see....

I can read just fine Richard.

What the article states quite clearly it that when an amp compresses, it tend to damage the tweeter because it continues to supply power to the higher frequncies. What you're denying is that this is more common with under powered amps. If you're familiar with amps that clip nicely and compress when over driven, then you'd know that the user doesn't get the perception that the music is getting that much louder. Even if druck at a party, if the amp can deliver the power to sound louder, then it's less likely to get over driven into compression or clipping to the point of over driving the tweeter.
