JKB,
We'll just have to agree to disagree but I can tell you that I've toured enough facilities to know what the academics say you should do is not always practical. And even the academics disagree with each other what is optimum.
I still say lighting is insignificant if all the other parameters are in place, and in fact less light is better. Reduced stress, better for the bacteria, no algae issues, etc. etc. You can also subdue the spawning urge with reduced lighting which is a waste of energy if you just want to grow out the fish.
