I think that you’ve misunderstood the “dry-hopped” or “toddy” process of brewing beer with coffee. The ratio of .6:1 is sound for making a good cup of coffee but we’re not talking about making coffee we’re talking about making beer. With the math you came up with, you would essentially make coffee out of beer. An interesting concept that someone should try and tell us how it turns out. The discussion should be around what a good ratio of coffee, as a product, to beer is, which is what you and DFH did.
This article: http://allaboutbeer.com/article/coffee-beers/ is pretty great because it initially talks about what experienced brewers do to their beers to get a good balance of beer:coffee. The 2nd page talks about what it takes to make a good cup of coffee.
