Well then he seems to be changing his tune. When FTP was first created Coggan and Allen got to define it, and it was defined as an absolute objective max 1hr power.
Negatory, Batman.

if you use 40k TT power as FTP a simple 2X20' @ FTP workout would be a drastically different training stimulus for someone who rides a 52min 40k vs 75min FTP.
No, it would not, as the difference in power would, e.g., be less than the normal day-to-day variability in performance.

It's kind of unfortunate that the definition of FTP has become a subjective moving target.
It has always been, and always will be, a "moving target." I can understand the desire of many to pin it down to a specific duration/to the nearest Nth of a watt, but that only provides a false sense of precision.
