Very true!!!
I guess I was hopeing some genious had done wind tunnel testing on my truck to see what was more effective, an air dam, or a belly pan....

that may be possible with a mock-up toy test or something.... there's little places on the truck all over that i find could be improved whenever it snows and i drive in it a while... it's like a free wind tunnel test cuz wherever the snow stays is low pressure. I usually end up with a pile behind my rear window, for example, but it's interesting to see where the snow comes to a point from the sides of the cab as well. It really looks like an "aero" cap would only have to angle out like 2-3 feet into the bed to be fully effective.
