For those living in virtual reality anyway. In the real world things get

Not really. if you've ever in your life looked at an amp's
specficiations


Why not try looking at some ACTUAL test results instead.
(Or if you had any idea how to, you could try making some measurements of
your own.)



given for 4 and 8 ohm loads, the 4 ohm load's power is
about double.


Yes, ABOUT. At least you now agree things are a little more complicated than
you first thought.


Yes, "about". An 100W amp at 4 ohms may do about 60W at 8
ohms

Why are you so ****ing anal about wether or not it is exactly half?
