A reduction in speed is only guaranteed to produce a net increase
in power available if the new airspeed is higher than Vbg.

I think you mean higher than the airspeed for minimum power, which is
lower than Vbg.

Yes...sorry, I use Vbg as a nice "landmark", since it's very close to the
actual speed in question. I guess I should be more explicit about that,
especially in this context.
