No worries - sounds like we are on the same page. I'm an engineer by training so I tend to look at this from that persepctive.
I do agree that people get way too hung up on FTP. I also think that obsession can come from a lack of understanding of what the power meter is telling you and the physics behind it. If you are listening to your body at the same time you are evaluating your technique and performance, the power meter is invaluable for the feedback it provides.
