Surely aerohead, it would be better to argue from the point of drag, downwash induced attached flow will be almost always higher drag than if the flow were "real" attached flow. Or reattached flow is almost always higher drag than if it was attached flow.

Arguing that the flow isn't attached and the tufts are lying and every expert is wrong seems difficult to believe. Saying that you have a different definition of attached flow seems far more reasonable to me.
