Appreciate your comments and those of others on this thread, but most
comments seem to focus on the definition of RMS, not the basic issue of

Quoting an amplifier's output power in "RMS Watts", or as "RMS power", or
simply appending the magic letters "RMS" to some quoted power output value
*is* misrepresenting it, because these expressions, although having tha
apparent authority of technogobbledygook, are actually meaningless.
