Also true is that hot streaks over 40k-50k hands usually indicate just running well and not superior play (or anything close).

So you are saying that I could play in a casino 40 hours a week for almost a year (assuming 30 hands/hour) and that my results would be close to meaningless? That is, I could win something on the order of 1 BB/hour over that period of time but actually be a losing player?
If so, then at what point are a player's actual results somewhat indicative of their theoretical results?

the goal is to maximize your expectation. sometimes your results don't meet up to your mathematical expectation, and sometimes they far surpass it. it's gambling. if you want to have any type of success you have to understand that your results and your play are not as strongly correlated as you'd expect
