For incandescent, yes. But not for LED bulbs. If that were the case,
why would some LED bulbs be dimmable and others not?

"is it dimmable" refers to the use of a phase-cut TRIAC dimmer in combination
with a retrofit LED bulb designed to run on mains power.

No, some bulbs are not dimmable, period. Some are. None work reliably
with triac dimmer controls.

According to independant reviews by people NOT selling light bulbs, some
manufacturers bulbs do.

The ones you are selling do not.

Independent reviews by untrained people are worth exactly what you paid
for them.

Keep reading the funny pages. They're your speed.

Yep, anyone that disagrees with you is untrained and anywhere it is published
something that disagrees with you is funny papers.

And what are the qualifications of the guy who wrote the blog? A
"text-based adventure connoisseur"? Some qualifications! Where's his
engineering degree? His experience in test labs?

Keep reading the funny pages, Jimmy. They're right up your alley.

It's going to be years (if ever) before such standards are created for
the residential market. There are too many reasons to stick with 117V
wiring.

The standards are being actively developed and have nothing to do with
altering the wiring voltage and everything to do with dimmer and bulb
technology.

And exactly who is "developing" these standards? References?

I thought you were supposed to be an expert in light bulbs?

If you actually knew anything about such you would know what the
standards groups are.

No, I'm asking YOU - exactly who is "developing" these standards?
References? IOW, support your claim.

But you can't, because once again you have no idea what you're talking
about.
