In other words, they aren't the same argument.

Exactly true,
I am running 2" primary headers and a custom 2-1/2" up pipe, along with a FP HTA GT3586 turbo. This setup is also one of Maxwell Powers longblocks and I made 532whp and 433wtrq at 23psi on E85 and a PIA tune. I have a great flow path for the setup I have chose including a 3 to 3-1/2" exhuast. Just another example as stated everything has to be designed to YOUR needs and not the one only way. A smaller faster spooling turbo would equal a smaller primary and up-pipe combo to be efficiant in the boost response range vs big turbo, big power cars need flow.
