* The Audi had separation which you've claimed is impossible.
* The Audi had attached longitudinal vortices which you've claimed is impossible.
* The Audi had vortex-induced downwash which you've claimed is impossible.
* The Audi had separation-induced rear lift which you've claimed is impossible.
* By doing everything I've advocated, Audi was able to reduce rear lift as well as drag, by respecting the template, exactly as Hucho explained in his 2nd-Edition.

Seriously, you are now just making up stuff.
The paper says absolutely nothing of the kind about the template or any such 'optimal shape'.
Nothing at all!
And I have never said that any of the things you are quoting me as saying are impossible.
Perhaps you can find some direct quotes to support all this?
