The magnitude of the drag once the light is on falls in a fairly narrow band independent of the quality of the hub. Granted the article from Bicycle Quarterly is 10 years old but I doubt that huge advances have been made to suspend physics since then.
And this isn't about "religion" but about data that can be measured and conclusions that can be drawn from that data.
Re-read what I was commenting on. I'm saying that the only people who claim you get "something for nothing" don't understand physics. You're not wrong, but claiming there are a bunch of people out there who say otherwise is disingenuous.
