These are the claims, it is not up to us to disprove it, it up to you to prove it.

So far I have not seen, or been shown any papers, or even book chapters, that show application of a template to any car that can show the above.
Aeromcaeroface,

If you go back to the first post, the entire thread is actually about disproving the AST-I diagram.

To this end, a video was posted in which the AST-I diagram did not align with 6 selected cars. This was apparently considered effective "proof" to disprove the AST-I.

However all of the side-streamlined vehicles (5/6) in the video actually fit the AST-II. If you take screenshots and do overlays, you can easily see this for yourself.

Why would this not be effective "proof," if it can prove it wrong surely it can prove it right?
