Sure

Only if you think that's how box cavities work. I don't think that - because they reduce drag even when the extensions are not angled inwards and so when there's no reduction in cross-sectional area.

It's the old thing - to a hammer everything looks like a nail. Or, once you have a theory in your mind, you want to apply it to everything.
