But because any deflaction force with this wing is now moved more than half the distance toward the CG point of the car it would lessen the amount of downward force being generated over the wheels.

So someone please explain what is it's advantage as the physics resulting from its location seems to suggest a possible disadvantage.
one could also argue that the downforce generated is now more evenly distributetd at the 4 corners.
