The argument relies upon the fact that the rho is the lowest-lying state created by a conserved current, and the detailed form of the integrals which determine the couplings in AdS/QCD. Quasi-universality holds even when rho-dominance is violated. The argument fails for all other hadrons, except the lowest-lying spin-two hadron created by the energy-momentum tensor. Explicit examples are discussed.4 pages, 5 figures (v3, added referencing, small adjustments to preliminary and final remarks, content unchanged.)High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - LatticeHigh Energy Physics - TheoryNuclear TheoryOn the Couplings of the Rho Meson in AdS/QCDtext
