I accept the direction that the case designers chose.
Maybe, but are they competent case designers if the case
even needs a side-panel fan at all? Most good cases don't
need one.

Case designers or merely case stylists? When I see a
non-server case made for 6 fans, I know that nothing
went into its thermal design, only its manufacturing
aspects.
Beats me.
Can you provide a reference to support that claim.
Maybe they use the same shell for reasons of manufacturing economy.
Don't need to, as there are plenty of reviews of cases
without a side-panel fan demonstrating it, including the
vast majority of OEM cases.
It's simple science, to keep a system cool enough one needs
determine the acceptible rise over ambient and move
sufficient air to maintain that, which rarely requires side
fan,
If there are so many of these review cases, please provide us with the
link to at least a couple.
That's the part I am interested in proving.
I would have thought the more fans the better,
therefore a side fan is
just one more fan to keep things cool. If that fan were better
utilized on the back, blowing out, then the next time I spec a case I
will avoid side fans.

minimum. Add more fans until the case can hover
That'd mean my 2GHz processor would require 2000 sq. inches of fan
area - which is about 51 Sq Metres. With that kind of coverage I
wouldn't expect it just to hover - I'd expect it go supersonic!
