Show me 1 study that says this.

I have pointed out a study in this thread that shows the opposite of this, prove why his numbers are wrong.

I have asked repeatedly for you to give us some reference regarding the things you say, you have yet to do so. In your entire post #41 you say many things which you believe to be fact, but do not supply any drawings, or links to other discussions, or a link to a paper, nothing. We are calling you out and saying you're wrong, it is not up to us to prove why you are wrong at that point. It is up to you to show why you are indeed right. This is another principle in the discussion of science and engineering; you must provide facts to back up the things you say when asked. In this way, we can talk about the facts and keep the personal out of it.

If you say, "That's just the way it is." or "I heard this and this from a guy once.", it is difficult to understand why what you say is anything other than a bad opinion. We really, Really, REALLY, want to deal with facts here. Opinions stated as fact are not welcome.
