You can't even point to a single, fair test of Gatorskins to prove all the hogwash that people have been bandying about for all these years. Hence, your claims are dubious and show an obvious bias.
The guy you're talking to is basically today's Sheldon Brown. HTupolev knows what he's talking about, his assumptions are like educated guesses. You've got a lot of uneducated guesses. Better off learning.
