I've been involved in a game of thought, Go. As an organizer of game events and chairman of our little club I've encountered a pair of very strong players with nasty habits. They were strong enough to beat most other players, but would insult the other players for moves they thought were inferior.
Funnily they never questioned moves of players that were stronger than them. If you see someone do something you wouldn't do that would be the ultimate chance to learn something new?
People grow weary of the abuse. For an organizer it is instrumental to kick them out, even if that lowers the average strength of the club, because otherwise there won't be a club before too long.

Aerodynamics are hard. I am sure nobody has a complete grasp of it, neither Aerohead nor you. I accept anything I read on aerodynamics as opinion, and only use it as pointers for trying to understand what's going on. That way I'm not easily misled by anything you two post if it happens to be wrong.
The template is just that - a template. I think I understand the reasons behind it, but I'm aware of its limitations and the availability of other options. In fact, there where other tested designs deviate from the template that is an opportunity to learn.

My point is that a difference in opinion can be a great starting point for further learning. If we keep things civil of course.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
