Fact 2: Here is the diagram to which I assume Aerohead refers (Fig 4.54 has nothing to do with lift, but 4.55 does):
Fact 3: This diagram shows exactly the opposite of what Aerohead constantly argues! As you'd expect, it shows that a fastback has far more lift than a square back. The transition to lower lift occurs when the flow separates. What a surprise (not).
Fact 4: Aerohead has not bothered to address this massive misunderstanding that he constantly displays.
I strongly suggest that rather than accepting the references Aerohead nominates, people actually check them. When I spend the time to look up each of the references Aerohead cites, he is - more often than not - misquoting and/or misunderstanding them.
