Not at all... I don't think I misunderstood anything... I'm very familiar with that formula, it's not something new to me.
Maximising resources and maximising growth are mutually exclusive for AR after average 25% max capacity is reached.
This logic still stands:

If I'm beating the formula then it follows that I have more population on the high-hab worlds than the low hab worlds... This is sub-optimum for growth and, depending on the phase of the game, often sub-optimum for the resource integral.

The only case I can think of where it wouldn't be true, is where I didn't have enough pop to pass 25% capacity across the empire.
The formula assumes a dead even spread of population across the worlds. To go above it, there simply *has* to be an imbalance of population in favour of the higher hab worlds. If this is the case and if capacity is at 25% or above, then population growth is being sacrificed to get these extra resources.
