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.


That's exactly what you're doing. You're also ingoring the parameters he
sets (that standard fatory injectors are so poorly done and out of spec that
LOP with standard injectors would cause one or more cylinders to run
excessivly hot (400 degrees plus).

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.


Odd. Most of the anecdotal evidence shows that engines run according to
manufactureres specs (ie, ROP) DON'T make TBO. This is supported by the
DATA.

When Deakin comes up with hard evidence
that applies to anything other than GAMI's special setups then I will
welcome it.


Well, the test stand has data for all sorts of setups and configurations and
you ignore THAT, so cut the crap.

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****."


"Vague" reference?

Talk about bull****, and talk about shoving ones foot in mouth and playing
"pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...".
