To use an old fashioned phrase, it makes my blood boil to see people being misled in this way.
* Your book is written for the car enthusiast and non-engineer.
* Those of us here, with an engineering background, will find certain aspects of your investigations and conclusions falling outside the bounds of scientific rigor.
* Three times already, I've attempted to direct you towards science which would provide a much deeper insight into your experiences and interpretations. And it looks like three times it was all for naught. None of your subsequent posting reveal any hint that you spent even a pico-second with the material. Had you processed it, it would be impossible for you to cling to your folk knowledge.
* I'm in doubt that your international panel of experts actually signed off on as much of your book as you claim. I'd very much like to see what your exchanges actually were, and did some things get lost in translation between an engineer-aeronautical engineer- aerodynamicist, and a sociologist-geographer.
