Howard, so true! I agree with you completely. This subjectivity of gougers is precisely why I believe they cannot be considered the most important part of reedmaking... just the most expensive!
That particular oboist's website is new to me, but I'm not at all surprised by her thin gouge. There are oboists who make fine reeds on all sorts of gouges. I don't agree with her idea that hard cane is good cane and soft cane is bad cane, but she's certainly entitled to that opinion.
Nowadays I use a mainstream gouge, but in the past I've experimented with some bizarre ones. So I'm not really surprised by anyone's unconventional gouger preference.
Cheers,
Drew
