I think that Shawn's practical point is that density altitudes derived from lower temperatures and higher pressure altitudes can produce more power than same density altitudes derived from higher temperatures and lower pressure altitudes in a typical turbine. The reason is because a typical turbine runs out of temperature before it runs out of volumetric capacity.
