I just don't think the benefits are going to surpass the tried and true 4-12 rep range for most exercises, especially when the goal is hypertrophy, strength, or power
I don't disagree with that. I never do more than 5-12 reps per set. My point was that switching things up wont hurt. If ole boy was to rep out 100 tri extension once a month, by all means go for it; it isn't going to hurt, but doing it every workout is frowned upon.

While soreness frequently comes as a result of an intense weight training session, especially when beginning lifting or coming off of a break, people become stronger and gain muscle even when they do not regularly experience soreness.
I didn't say you WON'T experience muscle growth unless you get sore, I said that if you are getting sore, you are progressing. Which might not be 100% accurate, I'd say its probably 90% accurate; a side from soreness from injuries caused by bad form, etc. At least it has been for me. I completely agree that you get make gainz without soreness. My biceps rarely ever get sore, but they still get stronger, and slightly bigger the more I workout.
