Correct, not proof. If it was that easy to prove, the SSS advocates would be all over it in a flash.
If you put streamers down the sides of the fuse, I bet they would blow straight back.
Also how could it spiral around the fuse when there is a big fence called a wing and the stab which would prevent it from spiraling anyway.
