ok but consider this, from Bob himself, viscosity is film strength. Now, yes there are such things on the margins that violate that, but in general any 40 weight with plenty of Vii's will protect metal better then most 30 weights. So if you grade the oil that way, 0w40's kick ass. That is why I call it super class, it is a class that defy's the rules and was built for modern engines.
And I don't really disagree with you, I prefer no or low vii's. If my application called for 0w40, I would run 10w30 Redline myself. But most oils don't have the additive package as redline in 30 weights thanks to our gov't.
