If there is no real answer to preventing bloat, why the
recommendation to feed several small meals throughout the day? There
is no logic to your recommendation. If YOU want to feed several small
meals a day for YOUR peace of mind, that's one thing. To recommend
the practice as a useful tool to prevent bloat is just blowing
smoke.

Most of what we do to prevent bloat is for our own superstitious
selves; what we might be doing is looking at genetics and vaccine
abuse but it's easier to do otherwise.

Just as you feel better when you eat 5-6 small meals, your body
processes your food better, you burn more calories, and generally
avoid that horribly feeling that you need to be taken via wheelbarrow
to the nearest sofa to recuperate. ha ha ha

Ha ha ha, we are not talking about human health here, we are
discussing dogs. There is no evidence that eating multiple small
meals is beneficial to a dog and certainly there is significant
evidence that their digestive systems are fulling capable of
processing not only large meals but also large, infrequent meals.

Your references to human digestion are absurd.
