There are (at least) four uses to which the template is often put here where the template simply does not 'work as it sits'.

It cannot be used to decide any of the following with any more accuracy than basically closing your eyes and guessing:

- Show where there is separated and attached flow on existing cars

- Guide the shape of rear extensions

- Show how rear spoilers on sedans should be positioned and shaped

- Allow the assessment of the ‘aerodynamic purity’ of cars

Therefore, when it is used in just these ways, it is massively deceptive and misleading.
I recommend we stay away from generalizations. Oversimplification.
I can, have, offered counterfactual evidence to all four of your assertions.
Some are within the borders of own your book.
On one page you appear to follow an SAE Paper script, and everything you write agrees with all my ' misconceptions.'
Nineteen pages later, your logic completely reverses.
There appears to be no continuity to your thoughts when you're off the teleprompter. Very confusing.
