So you really don't have anything that supports your position which
contradicts all published information from all sources.


All I have is my conversation with Brownlee and his flight test pilot

staff.
At the standrdization seminar's conclusion they all gathered around me

while
Joe made the small droplet statement and they wanted soemthing from me on
probabilities. The FAA flight test pilot staff that flew the actual

flights
of the large droplet study were there. Their conclusion was that the
original assumption of lthe large droplet icing study was completely wrong
and I made the comment that perhaps they could get new funding to study
small droplets; everyone laughed.

I believe the results of the flight test are published, but I am not going
to search it up for you.


As an adendum:

Keep in mind that aero engineers have a very difficult time dealing with
their own data and equations being false. As an example, the Law of the
Wall was removed as a regulatory hurdle, once it was pointed out that the
Law is dimensionally without any basis in physical reality; yet some aero
engineering schools still teach the Law of the Wall.
