The context is self-contained in the conversation. What more could possibly be needed, he made a statement that was false. I provided evidence with source of why it was false. What is the missing "context"?

It is not a rule that a 32mm tire has higher drag than a 25/28mm (etc.) tire. Nor that more knobs are less aerodynamic. Knob design/tread would obviously have a significant impact on the aerodynamics of a tire.

"Wider and knobbier tires will always add to aero drag"
False, here is where it has recently been disproven
"Uh.....context please"
As I said before, significant information asymmetry. Demanding a discussion standard of me, that nobody else is even attempting to meet.
