It could be. You absolutely may be right. But my point is (and I'm not trying to pick fights here) is that without actual data, it might not make any difference (or it might be worse) to have air intakes that snake down around the front of the car vs short ram intakes.

Other factors also need to be taken into consideration when choosing an intake such as piping length, diameter, material, etc... These things also affect HP which is what our ultimate goal is.

Ultimately what you are happy with is what matters, but please don't automatically assume that an intake will make more power just because it takes in air from an area of the car that seems to be cooler than another.
