I said it is a "good metric" for measuring how much you could be making. On top of that the only monetization methods you mentioned were direct advertising. A good blog will be making money from ppc advertising, affiliate programs, and many other methods... not just direct advertising. It's a simple formula to gauge performance... not the cure for cancer. "you may make more per advertisement than a blog that has a wide reaching readership and higher traffic" The above will never happen. You can't explain to an advertiser that your traffic is more focused than someone elses. There is simply no way to measure this. The advertiser will always go with the "biggest bang for the buck" idea. A blog with 40 readers a day will never compete with a blog that has 1500 or more. It simply isn't in the cards.
