The hierarchy of training for mass is most likely correct and backed by their own observations.

I like kipping pullups even though my form sucks right now. The science behind them is pretty solid, basically because time is decreased and mass and distance stasy the same, your power output goes up.

1) I have no clue where this comes from with their "observations" most of the very elite crossfitters like military special forces guys are rather small. I'd like to see some that compete and how they do before they just say you can become huge.

2) No one disputes this, but its the same as saying cheat curls are better than regular curls or cheat anything. Its just a cheat movement to bring in the rest of your body which increases power. It's a great way to increase your rep range if you aren't strong enough to do a ton, but trying to push it as "real life practical". Ew.
