I think the difference is my answer gives "absolute best", with the caveat that you shouldn't expect your engine to live long-- perhaps not even to target altitude-- if you treated it this way. I think your answer is "practical best", which I tend to follow IRL, cruising a 7ECA at 40-50% power.

It's also to go easy on the engine. Temps and pressures are maxed out, and it's always better to reduce them. It's the main reason for flex thrust in jets; to extend engine life. That old saw about engines liking being run hard is nonsense. No mechanical system last longer when run hard than when run not so hard, as long as it gets regular exercise I cruise my own airplane at 45-50% power.

For instance, if you throttle back, then you are constricting the intake airflow and induction losses are a major source of inefficiency in engines.
