Now you are contradicting yourself--as bigger is almost always less restrictive--as well as missing the entire point on the discussion of intakes and economy. Which is that, for the most part, IT DOESN'T MATTER. Certain runner sizes are beneficial for PERFORMANCE due to air velocities and harmonics, which as I mentioned before are not going to affect ECONOMY. I never said bigger was better anyway, nothing remotely like it, in fact.
In any case, you have given me no reason to retract anything I said about total intake restriction and its relationship to efficiency at low loads. I would point out that "all these sources" you are citing are performance oriented, not economy oriented. So until you show all these sources demonstrating how intake modifications affect economy in any way other than the ones I already mentioned or derivatives thereof, I think I'm done here.
