Russall Cooper is the very last person you should be listening to about anything to do with AHQ.
If you want a meaningful discussion about this, ask people (not him, because he won't understand what you're asking) for their interpretation of Allegiance's recent disclosure about this issue in the Retail Entitlement Booklet. This is their latest advice on the minimum balance requirement.
It's been discussed in the forum many times before. Do a key word search.
