Early days of the Tristar, Rolls Royce would say they'd improved the motors.
We'd fly the airplane.
Our Flight Test Director would say to RR... "The takeoff distance is still the same. What improvement?".

If you put a powered plane into a windtunnel with ''no power'' you won't get the correct drag.

Yeah...but if you're doing calculations for wings or airfoils, this doesn't matter.
