As a scientist, I know how the process works. Even the most learned scientist is not entirely right all the time nor is what they write (or study) all inclusive and the last word on the subject. Nor would any scientist worth his salt assume that he has covered everything when writing an article or even a book.

His graph and his studies don’t explicitly say that he studied the use of pulse braking. There are gaps in what he writes and he seems to have missed the point of the fact that lower rim temperatures are less about the air flow than about the decreased input of heat from constant braking. Something you keep missing as well.
