Read the PDF again, paying particular attention to the phrase 'high frequency components'. It gives an accurate description of how highly clipped sources can blow tweeters and the occasional midrange. Nowhere does it say low power amps damage speakers. It's widely thought that this document may well have been the reason why the myth of under-powering arose. If so it was because as with most myths original truths were lost in the fog of the passage of time, replaced with falsehoods with each retelling of the tale.
