Ignoring all the other errors in the post, I’ll point out that you misunderstand these results. For the most part they aren’t from direct measurements, rather they come from a model (which has been thoroughly validated so there’s no question as to its validity) applied to different equipment sets. Since different people use different underlying assumptions/conditions, there’s really no contradiction in the results. There’s no one answer to how much time a skin suit saves. It depends on the rider’s power, the other equipment she’s using, and what she was wearing before.
