I haven't delved into the debate, but I am aware of it. Why is your commentary coming off as smug? That doesn't seem like a good tone to take.

The Template here has been used on this group:
- to determine whether airflow is attached or separated
- to determine the required height of rear spoilers
- as an assessment tool to judge the aerodynamic purity of production cars
- to guide the best shape of rear car extensions to existing cars
All are just rubbish.
I am not smug - if anything I am sad and angry that people have been so sucked-in by something with so little validity. The Template is just a very old-fashioned, low drag car shape - that is all.
Its uses in all of the above dot points is a vast over-reach - going down a rabbit hole and then that hole getting deeper and deeper.
It's like my getting a pic of a combustion chamber design from a high performance 1930s piston engine and then suggesting it was the ultimate and we should copy it in our modifications, use it to judge existing combustion chambers, etc, etc.
