> 40% is still a thing in my group, but it’s rare that water gets added, that’s only done with higher strengths.

That's kind of my point too, I failed to express it well enough. The paper author asserts that 40% whiskies are diluted by enthusiast, and that statement can be challenged in multiple ways! Either by not going for 40% whiskies, or by going for them and not diluting them.
