Migration Assistant between PowerPC and Intel

R C R,
Where does Apple recommend using PowerPC to Intel migration with the Migration Assistant?
The uninformed "genius" some claim to have spoken to (who knows, maybe they just spoke to a person who got a t-shirt at an Apple Store opening)?
Does the knowledgebase article actually say it should be used in such a migration? I haven't seen that.
Does the program itself actually say it is ready to be used between PowerPC and Intel Macs on the program windows itself? Not that I've seen.
Can you explain why two otherwise erase and installed systems with bare bones applications couldn't be migrated between in over 24 hours using the Migration Assistant? I tried it with my iMac Intel Core2Duo and iMac G5 1.8 Ghz.
It just sat there, with no progress in the migration.
And yes, I was using an Apple keyboard and mouse that were wired on both machines and nothing else other than the Firewire wire between them.
And yes, the G5 already had its power supply and logicboard replaced for the capacitor problem.
