No. You do not "merely" point out... You do it in a manner that,
intentional
or no, suggests that he is blowing smoke up your backside. You further
appear to completely disregard the supporting data and arguments, both
from
GAMI testbeds and from historical operating practices for piston engined
aircraft. He does offer credible arguments that the engine manufacturers
offer recommendations contrary to good engineering and operating
practices.

Let's be honest here.

All right, let's be honest. I am not disregarding the data that he as
presented in his articles. I will also not disregard the anecdotal evidence
that I have from several engine shops that engines consistently run LOP
generally do not make TBO, nor do they last as long as engines run according
to manufacturers' specifications. When Deakin comes up with hard evidence
that applies to anything other than GAMI's special setups then I will
welcome it. If there is anything that drives me up the wall, it is these
vague references to "historical operating practices." It is really just a
substitute for "bull****."
