Thanks for the treatise. Love the research and I agree with your very close reasoning.

In my defense, I attributed it to the dealer instead of stating it as undisputed fact because it has always sounded a little funky to me. On the other hand, the seat is so small there isn’t any obvious reason for its existence.

The subject was interesting to me but not interesting enough to pursue it much further because I was going to get the car anyway.
