That is my point.
We all agree you should gear DOWN for more volts, but HPI is saying gear UP for more volts, and in the continued absence of a reply from castle creations on this matter, I want to be able to stay within warranty. Based on that, I need to throw out all the conventional logic and follow the manual, increase the load and gear the hell out of my motor on 6s?

No. Increasing the load along with the volts is not a recipe for success. Decreasing the gear ratio (more motor turns for fewer wheel turns, or making a smaller fraction, for example: 1-50 instead of 1-20) is needed when increasing input voltage while holding the KV constant. That's true no matter what any manual says.
