I saw you reaching for peak values and not matching things up operationally. I found it disingenuous. You claim there are ALWAYS situations where series is better, I cannot prove the negative of that for a given situation. So pick a situation (lets start with common situations), then we can both nail down the design.

Series has a lot of ground to make up, it isn't religion at all, just probability, lots of data and examples. Without knowing that you have looked at the operational parameters of the series system, matched up motor efficiency vs speed vs conversion power requirements vs generator efficiency at that power level and ICE efficiency at that power level, plus charge/discharge efficiency if you are using the battery, I have to assume you take it on faith.
