The point in my using the 7-08 as an example, is that there are instances where higher SD does not lead to increased killing ability. There is more to killing effectiveness than simply SD, given equal design and caliber. Velocity plays a major role. There are only two rules of killing effectiveness that really matter when it comes to bullet selection:

1. A bullet needs "enough" penetration. Once you have sufficient SD to penetrate "enough", more won't help.

2. The more tissue damage a bullet does, the quicker it kills. That means expansion and velocity, assuming "enough" penetration as mentioned before.
I agree with your points, and now you likely understand why I dropped out of the discussion.
