That conclusion is wrong. It has nothing to do with laminar flow as I'm sure he's well above the Re=2300 threshold. It's a function of flow patterns. Take the shroud off of your radiator fan on your car, and you'll see a noticeable temp change. You don't have to reverse the flow direction.

Good point, nothing in that test confirms the type of flow through that heatsink to confirm the conclusion.
