Has anyone seen this table?

Questions:
Does everyone agree with this?
If I understand correctly, does this mean the best time to get the most out of hops for bitterness, flavor & aroma is 60 min, 20 min, & 7 min respectively?
If this is so, then why do recipes that aim for extreme hop aroma, dry hop? Why not add the full aroma hop bill all @ 7 minutes?
Same question goes for flavoring...why not add it all at 20 minutes to maximize the amount of flavor you get from your addition?
End question: So for most IPA recipes and the like, why not have only three hop additions, @ only 60, 20 and 7? (unless of course, you want a smaller amount of aroma or flavoring from each addition, but then that poses another question...why not still add your hops at 60, 20 & 7, but add only a smaller amount to get the flavor/aroma you're looking for?)
Hope this makes sense.
