Default Strength before size... or maybe not?

I came across an interesting read on EFS today.

http://www.elitefts.com/documents/size_strength.htm

So this author makes a pretty convincing argument, so is the common mentality of "you must get stronger first, then you will put on size" the best advice?

Frankly I believe that gaining size requires the training of both strength and "bodybuilding" in tandom... best described as powerbuilding. I've never been a black and white guy. So questions about isolation vs compound, or equipped power lifting vs raw or even supplementation (which I'm pretty devoutly against but only based on the fact that most people don't have their crap in one sock enough to get any advantages from a predatory industry that deals in ignorance... even all supplementation is not bad, and it pains me to say that) all seem like asking "Should I sleep or should I be awake?" Stupid question since we recognize that both are appropriate and necessary in their own way.
