Yes, I agree with this too. You can have high CO2 and still have BBA if you are deficient in some other nutrient.
Remember, the point of high (ie 30mg/l) of CO2 is not that the CO2 directly kills the BBA (it's not an algaecide!). But that healthy growing plants reduce the presence of algae. Take care of the plants and algae will be minimized.
Now don't ask me exactly how that works
! Lots of debate on that subject, including a good one here:
