Och, Ted! Your Google skills no doubt are fine. But why seek evidence of something that is logically incomplete? "The optimum temperature is a 15% drop." Spread that around at all the rides you do and see if people start to believe you, to the point that in winter they ride in a tank top to compensate for temperatures that are 15% too warm for them to ride optimally. Sardonic grin.
Logical inference: someone read an article (possibly Jan's) on the testing of tire pressure and rolling resistance, and due to poor grasp of logic and reason remembered that concept in relation only to the pressures they ride, which then came out via inept communication skills as a truncated "15% drop is optimum", and spread that around club rides until it was heard round the world. We see that kind of ineptitude all the time in "science." Pick any press article about any experiment and you will see it. Sardonic grin. People aren't taught to be mindful, use logic and reason, and unless individuals seek it out or learn it on their own, they unwittingly fall for all sorts of fallacies of logic and pass them on as intelligent thought. We have our education system to thank for that. Clearly, I need a ride. I'm off to make sure my tires are 15% less inflated. Grin.
