Look at Aucky's edit.
There is a difference between a static hover requirement and the power requirements in certain dynamics flight profiles.
As a more extreme example of this I'd like to refer the Nick Lappos statement that given sufficient power one can get out of VRS using power. In the given case no such power margins were available.

edit : not implying that this was VRS, I also stand by Crab's summary.
