Does it? Stagnation pressure is always related to speed, every car has a point at stagnation pressure.
You are deducing from speed that the pressure drop is higher. Doesn't that point say the faster you go the more drag increases?
"Delta-Ps can be a glimpse into efficiency" and speed, they tell you the speed more than anything.
"Seriously, this has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous." I completely agree Julian, this is the craziest aerodynamics deduction I have seen on this site (well second to the wind turbine thing you posted recently).
