I don't know who to trust between Daniels, Garetz, Rager, and Tinseth. Why do all of their systems have such a wide discrepancy between their IBU ranges for the same formula?

I read that article, and it was good. And although beer can be whatever you want it to be, I just think 5 to 15 IBU's isn't an IPA. We want this to be an IPA, but we're taking away the classic IPA bitterness. I've literally never found an IPA with lower than 35 or so IBU's. Maybe this can be a new fad that CP has come up with, also maybe since I'm new to this, I'm overthinking it.
