Not a condemnation, just wondering if we are all talking about the same thing.
You have touched on the MAIN problem with ALL comments on flight model accuracy

Some folks comments are based on what they read in a book, be it historic or comic
Some folks comments are based on what they saw on TV, be it documentary or Hollywood
Some folks comments are based on what they have heard over the years and is now a miss mashed jumble of info that has no origin

Which is why I always stick with the number.. They may not be perfect, nothing is, but they are a lot closer to the truth than anything someone read in a book or saw in a movie or heard some where

And by numbers I mean real world test documents that were performed by test flight engineers and test pilots

Anything less than that is just opinion and nifty stories
