I only get aggravated when people post bad tech for people who are generally curious.
I'd be interested in reading the paper if it wasn't paid. Though knowing some of GM's interactions with suppliers, I question their engineering from the ground up. I'd take nothing but an independent test without a grain of salt.

A healthy dose of skepticism is a good thing and I too don't like seeing bad tech posted.
I agree that other than the drag strip or autocross course non-drilled rotors are the way to go, and in other cases any benefit from drilling isn't monumental.
If anyone is in doubt you really can't go bad with the blanks. If you like the looks of drilled and aren't going to be repeatedly hitting the brakes hard then quality drilled rotors are fine - in my opinion of course!

BTW, your argument against drilling could just as well be used against slots - both are there to get rid of the gasses that get generated under extreme conditions.
