I've been told different

The first part was accurate but the part I quoted answered a question he did not ask. That part correctly answered the question "can I achieve the same power output at 5400 ft that I do at sea level?" and you gave reasonable advise on what to do to compensate for being at higher altitude. But he's already stated that he achieves 5400 rpm at 5000 ft. So, he's not asking what will happen when I go from sea level to over a mile high. Even though in the initial question it was stated in a converse fashion, he's actually asking if I go 50 mph while turning 5400 rpm at 5000 ft will I still go 50 mph at sea level while still turning 5400 rpm? We'd all agree he can probably go faster and turn a higher RPM at sea level but again, he didn't ask that. My reading comprehension is just fine.

You're really picking a fight you can not win.
The OP used the word "if". This would imply some uncertainty whether it could be achieved. I expressed my own doubts about whether it could be achieved.
