I'm not talking about guessing based on gender/weight I'm talking about guessing based on the power duration curve produced by recent training and racing.

This may be true with someone who is an experienced cyclist/triathlete. I don't find the generalization of +/- 5 watts true for the age groupers I have experience working with. On the contrary, FTP varies greatly. A generalization of FTP for a XXXlb male or female is not going to be within +/- 5 watts for each cyclist.
The power duration curve as opposed to only one point in the curve - FTP / 60 minute power?
