My Robust Porter says after 4-6 days I can expect bubbling to slow/stop. Then they either recommend moving it to secondary for a couple weeks, or basically racking after 48 hours of no bubbles...

Questions:
1. If it's ready to rack after say 5-7 days, why would they tell me to move it to a secondary with no CO2 production at that point.
2. I plan on just leaving it in the primary to condition. I figured at least a week past when I start getting solid gravity ratings. Perhaps two, but since this is my first I'm sure I'll get impatient.
Thoughts?
Here are the bubbles 4 days after yeast was pitched. For full disclosure, the wort was 60 deg F when I pitched the yeast, so they may have not been very happy.
