I diagree with this statement.  I've compared the
older 70-200 2.8 with the older 2x with the 100-400,
and found results (at 400mm) to be indistinguishable. 
As the 70-200 IS is reputed to be sharper than the
older lens, and the new TC is at least as good as the
old one, I would be very surprised if the 100-400 is
sharper.

Personally I have compared the 70-200 and 100-400mm but 
not the new 70-200IS with the 100-400IS.
Ken pointed out in a previous post this gentleman did compare 
the two. The findings were quite surprising. 
Take a look when you have a chance:
