Oh, fer chrissake..."no doubt?"

What evidence can you produce - in the form of documented engineering
studies - that this is so?

I am not asserting that it *isn't* so, but folks who are making such a
definite claim need to come up with something better than just saying so to be
credible.

Handwaving, flat assertions and anecdotes are not convincing.
