You’re absolutely right, and let me give you an example. With no formal training in aerodynamics I just embarked on a very ambitious project, inspired to a large degree by the other ‘unwise’ people on this web site who have done amazing things with little or no formal training in this area. I took a rather large class C motor home which used to average 12 to 13 miles to the gallon on a good day, and by adding a boat tail, showed an improvement of about 25% so far. No telling how much the new belly pans and the reduced air inlets in the front will help.
What was I thinking? I might have done more harm than good!
