How about that the only commercial example is an AMERICAN beer that's a copy of a GERMAN beer with ENGLISH hops.

Adambier is under the Barleywine/Old Ale substyle section.
This was your response when somebody asked if it was a BJCP style. There is NO mention of it in the style guidelines, "sort of" or otherwise.
Also, Old Ale/Barleywine is not a substyle, as you indicated. They are separated into Old Ale, English Barleywine, and American Barleywine, within the "Strong Ales" category. Giving the description for one when you want another is misleading at best.
Where, exactly? The only place it's mentioned on that page is the commercial example under the BJCP study course, which is not the same thing as the style guidelines, nor do they actually make any reference to the style itself.
In fact, it seems to me that the BJCP simply considers that particular commercial product to be something else - but it doesn't actually suggest a relationship between the adambier STYLE and Old Ale and/or BW. That's really just your own inference.
(And yeah... the hop thing)
Nevertheless... it's just a game, and your intentions were good, so it's cool. The only reason I'm mentioning all this is because you pretty much challenged me to do so
