Because many of your estimates were way wrong as well as your way of thinking it thru.
Quite frankly seemed you were more interested in trying to prove GM didn't know what they were doing more than anything else
Some of the stuff you put up from third party sources was in fact verbatim Toyota material - the old stuff they used when they originally justified the HSD system - and later material when they were defending their at the time decision not to do a PHEV - obviously since reversed - sorta.
