no, i think he's got it right steve.
the bulk arachidonic acid (x-factor) that np stocks is a lower purity than the x-factor sold by MN.
10,000mg of bulk x-factor = 1,000 mg of actual arachidonic acid.
so 10g of bulk aa = 4 caps of MN x-factor
so yes 10g/day split up in separate doses is what is recommended on the bulk stuff.
on the taste issue: it mixes ok with water and isn't horrible tasting. it is almost completly painless mixed in juice. capping would be a lot of work IMO due to the amount needed daily.
