Exactly, using assumptions with no mathematically analysis, while the negative side used pure mathematically analysis but without consideration of potential errors in measurement equipment and multiple measurements to establish statistical data from which to base mathematically analysis on to begin with.
Not favoring either party's viewpoint, but pointing out flaws in their analyses that could be used as arguments questioning their conclusions.
And the airflow method utilized didn't seem very effective by looking at the size of the fan and its placement distance-wise from the intercooler, which I doubt is representative of potential airflow of speeds greater than 10 MPH.
But the basics of determining the true effectiveness of heat exchanger coating are provided by both parties that could be used to build a better testing regimen to answer the hypothesis conclusively.
