As for my reading of wattage numbers, just how do I do it? When the device says THIS MANY WATTS, what am I supposed to think? Again, no video card in use, as stated.
Now what does your meter on your system say? YAH okay.
I don't see why are you trying so hard to go against the obvious flow of info that shows how much less power IB uses, and how much more potential overclocked performance it's got over SB.

Who said anything about those results being suspicious? It's YOUR results that are suspicious. Specifically your power usage claims. Want to remove doubt? Post pictures of your system running under load with a multi-meter showing power consumption. Going so hard against the "flow of info"? Show me how everyone agrees and has hard data proving that the majority of IB chips consume less power. The proof is in the pudding as they say.
