I copy/pasted this statement directly from that link you posted: "I think what it boils down to is that my hasty assumption of uniform load sharing among multiple bearings is correct only in the case of a perfectly rigid shaft. Elastic flexure completely disqualifies this multiple bearing approach in reality. I really should have seen the impracticality of this approach earlier."
Might be true since there is no reason to think it's all for marketing purposes only by Bitex.
Kinda seems pointless to argue without having in depth understanding of engineering.
