Very interesting reading in those links! There are a few species in PR that just won't survive in cultivation but it is not clear whether it is due to the plant's intolerance of deviations from its natural regime, lack of cultural skills from the side of the growers or simply a peculiar feature of the plant's life history. I have become accostumed to see Ionopsis and Leochilus grow, thrive, flower abundantly and then die in their natural habitat even in what seems like the most favorable situation for growth and survival imaginable.
