i dont think anyones taking a personal shot at you, I think you're misunderstanding their answers.

Basically if you load up a dre song into your computer and look at the wave form, your not seeing the kick alone, you're seeing the waveform of the entire stereo mix.

The punchiness you're looking for comes in the tracking and mixing stages, with a combo of eq, compression and from the orignal sample. The flatness youre seeing on the waveform is most likely from whatever compression/limiting was done to the stereo mix. (after the punchiness of the kick was created)
