Neil,sorry,I'm trying to catch up.
I agree that angles can be steeper.Frank had just mentioned it and I used the example of Chrysler's Daytona 500 with the C-Pillar buttresses feeding air at the 22-degree backlight.
22-degrees is the angle Mair arrived at to be the absolute max for attached flow we could use,if everything upstream was clean and energetic.
