(Note: nothing to do with land speed records; comment was in relation to a Prius fitted with nitrous that died).
And of course, as is so often the case, Aerohead was quite wrong. I supercharged and then turbocharged a Prius, the engine coped with no drama whatsoever.
But rather admit that his guess was wrong, now Aerohead pretends the discussion was about something else:

If you're implying that your supercharged Atkinson cycle engine is capable of 24-miles at sustained W. O. T., I'd love to see that.

Huh?
For those interested in argument structure, it's called a strawman logical fallacy.
A strawman fallacy occurs when someone takes another person's argument or point, distorts it or exaggerates it in some kind of extreme way, and then attacks the extreme distortion, as if that is really the claim the first person is making.
