That's not the argument.
The argument is how you were encouraging their use to purportedly achieve the following
on existing cars:
- Show where there is separated and attached flow
- Guide the shape of rear extensions
- Show how rear spoilers on sedans should be positioned and shaped
- Allow the assessment of the ‘aerodynamic purity’ of cars
...and to do all of this often by picking just a
tiny part of one of these shapes and placing it over the top of an existing car! Just crazy stuff - and not supported by any tech reference I've ever seen.
