I also wonder how much tire results vary from frame to frame, depending on how the tire interacts with the frame aerodynamics.
Also, your continued unnecessary belittling doesn’t go unnoticed.
Watch the video, watch other videos. Go on JSTOR and see what you can find and read it all. I will continue to be your tutor, but there is only so much I can do.
The tone of this thread is set by the people in the conversation. You re-started the thread yesterday with a sarcastic insulting response, why are you surprised when the tone is matched? If you don't like the tone, do not respond in such a way to others.

My MTB with 2.35s feels more responsive on pavement. As I said before, maybe I need to try again.
What did your power meter show? What did your timed test segments show? What did the stopwatch show?
"Feel" is a means to an end, not the thing itself.
