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:



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.
There goes that zero-perspicacity phenomena again!
Is it possible for you to discern the difference between running an engine, never intended to be supercharged, at W.O.T., for 12-miles at a time? At least twice?
The fact that another Prius engine blew up has no meaning in your world?
Your 'momentary' acceleration equals the IONIQ team accomplishment?
