And because the quality of gear that drops is dependent on difficulty, you HAVE to farm the highest possible difficulty in which you can play to get the possible gear that is available (an exception being Act 4 of hell difficulty, which is required to farm supposedly to stand a chance before taking on Inferno).
There is no nice way to rebut this so I won't try. Your assertion is absolute and complete Bullshit. This is coming from someone who has picked up items here and there from the AH and still 90% of the gear I am using in Hell has been self obtained. Some of the key pieces of gear I am still using is Lvl 26-30 req. Other than a few key pieces (IE your weapon) You can easily play in Hell difficultiy with iLvL 26-45 items. You just need to know what stats to look for on those particular pieces.
Again, I have been incredibly lucky with drops. But if I were to trade many of my ilvl 44-50 items for ilvl 26-35 items with similar qualities of the ilvl 26-35 items I am currently using in Hell I would still be able to progress.
try to rebut it how you will, I couldn't care less regardless, you are still wrong either way. Fact.
No, you cannot "easily" play hell difficulty with lvl 26-45 items. You can play with them, but its not worth the time or effort to do so. To even play the first act comfortably, you need to be doing around 3k dmg minimum with a life pool of at least 20k, otherwise you are in for a rough time. I was forced to buy items on the AH just to be able to get through the first act at a decent pace.
So you have been incredibly luck with drops. Anecdotal evidence. How many Legendaries have you found? I bet not more than 1 or 2. For every person like you, there are hundreds who havent been so fortunate.

You are arguing a problem that doesn't exist.
If I farm nightmare, then I get very little exp, at lvl 57. I want to be able to farm either gold or items AND level at a decent pace at the same time.
