To what purpose ? Once TPTB have decided, they have decided. Down is up

to acknowledge 10 is less than 15 (you'd be surprised) you'd only get a
load of horse**** about "the complete picture", "overall", "when you
take the adjusted figures" &c &c &c.


Which you then proceed to take apart bit by bit and prove their phalases.
It wouldn't be at all surprising that they have taken makers values or
data sheets and extrapolated the data from them but without due regard to
any tolerance on thos figures or the real world, for example the glare
aspect.

There is a set of traffic lights near hear that they replaced with LED
jobbies, at night the green is so fing bright you can hardly see where
you are going and as they control the entrance to a single track bridge
with a bend isn't that driver friendly. Fine in bright sunshine, you can
see the lights but at night...
