I can't find any mention that bird poop reduces drag, can you point me to
the relevant site?
Where exactly in the above do you see any reference to bird poop? You
screwed up, you got it wrong again, live with it.
Your inability to admit riblets and dirt are two different things is noted.

They're not different, they are differing aspects of the same
phenomenon. In either case, smooth is worse. Live with it.
| Quote: | Your inability to admit NASA, airlines, racing car teams etc. have all used
wind tunnels to prove a polished finish has lower drag than the *same*
surface covered with dirt, is noted.

That is a flat lie.

This NASA paper
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/pdf/88721main_H-2439.pdf
should satisfy you here.
They find that a drag reduction of up to 15% is possible by optimising
riblet dimensions.
I think that for car manufacturers, cosmetics rate rather higher.
But *I* never claimed that a polished car had less drag than a non existent
car with riblets. It was just a strawman manufactured by Stewart for reasons
known only to him.

No, you claimed that a polished finish was optimum. Now you're just
trying to lie your way out of your error. This is not a good character
trait.

What TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!
If you really believe that, then you should be able to provide a quote. Have
fun looking!
I said a polished *car* had less drag than a dirty one. NOTHING else.
In fact *you* are simply trying to get out of the hole you have dug for
yourself by making stuff up.
Not a good trait even for someone like you with no character.

You were still wrong. That the proof lies in other vehicles is
irrelevant - laminar flow is laminar flow, wherever you find it.

Better than having no brains, and a missouri mule disposition.

As soon as you provide actual wind tunnel data that disproves the aeroplane
and racing car manufacturers for the specific case in question, then I will
agree with you. Simple as that!
All your blustering and obfuscation has proven nothing as yet!
