I'm not at all suggesting the primary factor for the change was made for aerodynamic benefits. I am saying that the entire concept is a nod to aerodynamics. That's where the idea conceptually originates from, and it helps more than zero.

Similar to how Mazda has bragged about shaving grams off of a rear view mirror in a Miata. Are Miata's light because their rear view mirror lost a few grams of weight? No. Are Miatas light because Mazda applied that design philosophy to the whole vehicle? Yes.
