Well I was sitting this morning and started thinking: what EXACTLY are the tufts testing? The somewhat obvious answer is that they demonstrate the kinda boundary layers but do not show what is going on much above that. For me, then, this does not tell me anything useful in the big drag picture because the layers arent like a cake layer they are kind of fluid in transition.
