Allan, Again, Option+Eject is NOT the keyboard command to eject media from a single optical drive (nor does the tech note state that). While you may find that it works, holding down an Fkey+Eject works too. That doesn't make it correct. It just illustrates the point that holding down the extra key is UNNECESSARY. And I don't believe there is a single keyboard command to eject both trays at once should you have dual optical drives.
If your final conclusion works for you then so be it! It is an incorrect conclusion. The tech note could not be more clear. I apologize for the confusion.
