People sometimes need to stop being know it all engineers and admit we really don't know everything and that sometimes something will make a difference (better/worse) and we really don't know why yet.
Throw your numbers around all you want... but if you haven't put your ear to it, you may just be blowing a lot of hot air. Sometimes a manufacturer cuts off his own feet when he tries to explain how he came up with what he did... he may have made something really special, but, because he's blown it on an explanation people don't listen. Sometimes the engineers are guessing at the explanations too.... doesn't mean it doesn't sound good/accurate.
