Their science is water tight.
This paper is part of my library.
Unfortunately,some under-graduate,and graduate research on VGs,is being passed along without a jury peer review at their respective university,and would never pass the scrutiny of an SAE Congress,where most research papers are presented each year.
Too bad! These 'leaks' don't reflect favorably on the reputation of the college or university.

4 inches apart, 4 inches in front of flow separation; that is all you need to know as an engineer. I understand your concern of low quality research papers, but then again people who did extensive research on airfoil VGs not really keen Mitsubishi paper.
With respect to the article think this way: to prove that earth is round and rotating around sun you don't have to calculate its diameter and orbit.
