The aerodynamicists involved in designing large commercial jets emphatically do not agree.

No it's not. It's a set of wind tunnel tests to perform, without a tailplane installation, and a set of guesses as to what will happen when the object (a) has a tailplane, and (b) is no longer fixed in relation to the relative wind, but moves about freely in it. It is all about extrapolation from limited data sets.
