I don't think he was concluding that PIE is useless- just that it's dependent on the spell cast, or rather the spells he liked to use had no use for PIE. I could have read wrong, but the data seemed to prove only that PIE doesn't effect some spells/skills and that rank holds significant sway in damage calculation.
