On a range of cars, here's what doesn't match your theory:

- tuft testing showing separated/attached flow
- manufacturer's stated coefficients of lift.

I think if I had theories that were so far from reality, I might look pretty carefully at what I was saying...

The simplest way of you realising the size of the errors you are spreading would be to make some on-road measurements for yourself.
They're not 'my' theories, they come from the same fluid mechanics Hucho told you about on the very first page of his book.
You're disinterest, or inability to comprehend them does not constitute a failure to understand them on my part. I'm formally trained. Re-read Chapter-2.
