Today's episode of "Aerohead the Evil and the Template of Doom"

In my opinion, Julian Edgar is presenting a straw man argument about Template and that it presents some danger to a large group of people in order to then present himself as the saviour. He provides zero scientific evidence or proof of any kind of the veracity of his claims other than anecdotal stories reported by him. The template is a sticky on this website. That's about all you can say about it with any confidence that is relevant to any one member or any one discussion of aerodynamics.

He presents a series of four ambiguous statements. He claims these are wrong. He claims the template is used in these ways. That's a great strawman but where is the proof that so many people use it precisely in that way? Proof. Where is the proof? Anecdotes are not proof. "I saw the template used in this way" Is not proof. It's not even surface level convincing.

Where is your scientific study of the population of Ecomodder that believes these supposedly erroneous things. Do that work, then correlate that against their results in improving mileage or, better yet, jettison that and ask them if they give a flying frick about any of this.

"Julian Edgar thinks people are mislead by Aerohead." OK. Possible but improbable. Now prove it scientifically or STFU. Julian seems to love science and proof when it is convenient to him and ignores it when it isn't.

People may be mislead by many other things too. Like links provided by Julian Edgar that present lift erroneously as a result of "The air passing under the wing has further to travel than the air passing over the top surface."

Aerohead is free to post whatever he wants here and you are free to post whatever you want within the limits of civility.

Every single person here has a different take on the Template. Everyone is here for slightly different reasons.

Can we please, for the love of god, move on? Sorry, that's a rhetorical question. Of course not.
