Can you go into more detail on this?
Do you have experience with CAD software and simulations with other manufacturers?
What's the relevance with this line of questioning?

I want ZERO blind faith outside of testing the flare with visual confirmation unless you're willing to support fixing a problem if it doesnt work out.
I know all of this already. Please re-read post 80, in context, where I said "
These other very small differences don't matter here and besides your still welcome to use the general tape method described here to confirm if this makes you nervous." You can choose to use simulation results or not. It's up to the individual however I'm still saying test with tape regardless before drilling.

If I find you are not including this disclaimer I will continue to call you out on it. I want people to know EXACTLY what they're getting into with this layout, short cuts rarely work out over the long term.
Core numbers are only half the story, volume and shape are the other half.
I can post a disclaimer, (see also comment below on this) if you provide it as a sticky, then I can link to it if required.

I do appreciate your simulations, they may be close in some cases, and closer with Ebonite products, but saying the word EXACT in this case is dangerous.
There isnt much room for error, as you saw, I hope you understand.

Yes indeed I understand completely...
Again please see post 80 on how the work "EXACT" was used in context.
I'm glad the simulations are useful and appreciated.
Regarding "protecting the interests of our members"
All members here are contributors in some way or another. That includes you and me. As the administrator here you need to include a section on this forum for a general disclaimer not only to protect yourself but also to protect all the membership.
I think you need to point visitors, members, contributors etc. to the area where they can read and accept the terms of this disclaimer before posting and/or before taking away any information that has been posted here and used for personal or commercial use and/or activities. This disclaimer should be in plane site and always readily available. I'd replace or relocate the MAP button on the top bar and update this location for the link to the disclaimer but this is entirely up to you.
I think all forums (this includes members/monitors and administrators) should be protected from legal action or other forms of retaliation or financial burden by the use of a basic disclaimer.
I've looked and I don't see any general disclaimer already here. If I've missed the standard disclaimer already here then please provide a link to same and ignore all of this.
I hope I've answered all your questions and addressed your concerns.
