I have already successfully tested it over a three hour ride where the middle hour was sweet spot. I did 90-120-90 without issue and felt much better after the ride than I usually do when I eat (too) little. I also tested 90/hour over a 4 hour ride (which was above 50%). I am not a racer, much less a pro, and I haven't even tested digestion all that much (yet). I absolutely do not see why you need to make blanket statement when digestion is so individual and trainable and people should test it for themselves. Also, I never said everyone should do it or that it is easy, my why not was aimed at your absolute statement. It is almost as if you completely ignored the "Of course you may not tolerate that, but that is a separate issue." part of my reply to you.
