I need a definitive answer because it sounds to me like two different
answers are being given. Please correct me I have misunderstood.
Chuck seems to be saying that these two settings are tied together
while Gary and Rob seem to be saying that these two settings operate
independent of each other. So, which is it?

For the general topic of _adopting authority_ the two values are indeed related.

However, for _adopting authority_ of the owner of a specific-program, with regard only to that specific-program, the two attributes are unrelated in the following sense: the adoption [or lack thereof] of the privileges by the owner of that specific-program will hold true, *irrespective* the setting for the Use Adopted Authority (USEADPTAUT) on that specific-program.
