Yes from a marketing POV, but just as irrelevant
Precisely: clever, but meaningless (just my opinion).
I personally found it very interesting. Caelin Gabriel is very open about his ideas and happy to interact with his customers on forums. I haven't personally tried Shunyata cables (until recently they didn't have a UK distributor) but have spoken to a few who have and most seem very impressed. The Triton/Typhon mains filtering products are supposed to be very good indeed.

I found the Shunyata article interesting but hardly convincing... Anyway, now my 200 has settled down I am prepared to try some different power cables although I admit I'm still very sceptical about the likely benefits.
Absolutely, as with all things hi-fi there's no substitute for a good home demo! If you can't hear a difference/or it isn't a decent improvement then you can save yourself some money.
Interesting point re the Powerline. Having said that Naim have always put a lot of emphasis into power supplies haven't they?
