<<Why does this invalidate the white-out method? The whiteout method works
great even with terms not found in the OGC. If you find the term in the OGC
you white it out. If you don't find it, do nothing.

It doesn't invalidate it, per se. But one of the following things must be true:
a) if the "white out" method of reading the OGL is true, then WotC's PI statements in the SRD are de facto null and void and everyone can use any of those terms except where they are trademarked or except where they make direct reference (including a contextual usage) to other works copyrighted by WotC where such terms might be found
b) the "white out" method is not what WotC intended, and the current administration believes the intent of PI usage is something closer to a "forbidden terms" list
