う and い can be pronounced differently when they are used to extend O and E sounds.
For example, the い of せんせい is an extended え sound.
The う of うまそう is an extended お sound (from そ).

That's why I also said "I guess, technically, sometimes おう＝おお and ええ＝えい in sound" in the post, too. But my post was the victim of oversimplification on my part, yes. I probably should have said "usually."
I was just trying to hammer the point home that うまい and うまそう are written fairly differently, so they're going to be pronounced differently.
