Gotcha. But this IS important. Most of us have been lead to believe the most aerodynamic shape is the raindrop. After all, they fall naturally and therefore should take the shape of the most aerodynamically efficient profile. But when you've been lied to all your life, you apply that flawed logic to many other things. And that's what I was trying to explain.

I myself was educated incorrectly. I was taught that cars and planes and missiles shaped like raindrops were super-efficient. Unknowingly, I took that flawed logic into the NIC. I assumed Nipple Darts and Prototype Darts were super-efficient because they had that familiar raindrop shape. Truth is, nothing could be farther from the truth.

So I'm just reiterating that popular perception, no matter how popular, aren't necessarily accurate. Be open minded. Seek truth. Question rules. Sometimes they're dead wrong and Hershey's Kisses falling out of the sky are WAY more efficient.
