I must be missing that part. What I do see reflects my personal experience
with a Triumph Stag:
"We found that placing an electric fan (especially the larger ones) in front
of the radiator raised engine temperature at highway speeds by several
degrees. "
Assuming of course that 10F or more counts as 'several'.
Of course the point about there being other ways to add more airflow (to
compensate for the restriction of the fan) is valid. Likely I will
eventually add a 'chin' spoiler to the (non-show) Stag. But just bolting on
a "pusher" fan caused an overheating problem where there wasn't one before.
