The author must be a Yankee. "Barbeque", by definition, is "Low and Slow".

Correct. Only Yankee and California BarBQ tends to be seared and then cooked over high flames, also known as ‘grilled’ to most southerners or ranchers. Real BarBQ is cooked for 6 hrs min at low heat (Beef) and generally never directly above the heat, but convection cooked in smoked low heat.
