It doesn't matter to me if people don't want to understand how this stuff really works, none of this matters for putting a grate on your cooler which we all agree is a good thing anyway. I don't care about continuing to make attempts to call people out for their misinformation, but 3 times of an explanation is more than enough that any more is just not worth anyone's time.

You are the most confidently wrong person I've ever met. This discussion is far from the first example of that. I'm done with this conversation as well, but will leave you with comments from someone else you clearly think is an idiot, specifically the aerodynamicist who designed the G8X:

In the outer area the skirt is longer, creating a stronger negative pressure, and thus increasing the downforce on the car's front axle. It also improves the airflow around the front wheel.
Thus we have fulfilled three functions with the front skirt: The cooling requirements of the horizontal oil cooler are met; a massive downforce is created on the front axle; and we're especially proud that the drag of the vehicles is also improved.
