trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

Aerodynamic shapes are designed to be stumpy at the front for optimal flow separation

the verdict

REFUTED

the evidence says no

confidence 10/100

Aerodynamic shapes are specifically engineered to be streamlined rather than stumpy at the front in order to minimize, not optimize, undesirable flow separation and reduce drag.
