I agree with you both. Yet there are only marginal incentives to drop the center wheel(s) in the wide drive configuration, as can be demonstrated by running through the math in the paper. My point isn't about extra wheels, but rather the negligibility of dropping those extra wheels. I also wanted to bring up a pretty good paper showing the math/science behind what people think they saw on the field.
