Yeah but that's the STATIC i.e. without rider position! It's the suspension's position WITH a rider that's way more important! Unless the bike is going around on its own it's a bit irrelevant.
As for the second point, it's kind of true, but that's what rebound damping is supposed to control.
Reading this thread it seems that emphasis is perhaps being put on certain elements of suspension setup and not considering the combined effects of the actual equipment and how it's setup as a whole.
