I recommend reading the entire article.
totally understand what you're saying but there is reason why winning race teams use different oils. Its all passed and present experiences. Sponsorships. Money. And the average person uses his/her preferred oil based either on research like you did, criticisms, or recommendations. I will probably use royal purple on my first oil change since tests have shown it has a lighter wieght than most group v's. But I may use redline since AK and many others on this site are using it
