The diagram even showed the uneven flow created down the side of the car, something you mentioned as a reason for allowing the air to follow the modified quarter panel before being reintroduced to the airstream.

No,you're right.The research is beneficial and we're forced to look for correlations,and we're going to find them.I like to think that more and more info will enter the public domain and we'll see even a richer body of knowledge from which to cherry pick.
The big dogs will try and temper our enthusiasm however,citing that cars won't necessarily behave the same,so we need to be vigilant.
It's very expensive to properly test these body permutations.
