Apparently, you are a little disgruntled because you incorrectly
identified a petitio principii. Not that this in particular makes your
most recent assertion incorrect.

But let me quote you:
"If the reference efficiency, ho, is unknown, it can be accurately
calculated from the sensitivity if the sensitivity is referenced to 1
watt." -- JBL Speaker Shop help file
Essentially, sensitivity and efficiency say the same thing; it's just
a difference in derived units.

As an aside, you quoted the wrong passage from my post. If you note, I
don't even use the word "efficiency" in the excerpt you selected.
However, I extended you the courtesy of looking back to my original
message to understand what you were referring to.
