Yeah, the guy has a weird F-22 fetish, but his RCS analysis remains the only even semi-serious one in English, even a decade later.

So I assume you think those 'ex military members on DefenceTalk' are credible, is that right assumption? If it is right, can you provide their names? Thanks.
You would be surprised by how ignorant ex military can be of military stuff especially in areas out of their often very limited expertise when they are in service.
If I remember correctly, those people were speaking in their areas. E.g., airforce officers about air matters, tank troops about ground forces, etc.
Except for the fact that half the F-16.net and the DefenceTalk west pack people there pretend they are experts and pretend to bbe ex military. Same thing at places like DFI and PDF where half the people are "insiders" or "know someone".
We can only look at AAD papers for what they are, the only semi academic attempt at looking at a prototype J-20's RCS that is available to the public. For people who actually have technical knowledge of how those RCS analysis are done (without the actual artifact) they know themselves how accurate the attempt by AAD was. For the rest of us, it's simply a potential indicator at best and nothing concrete can be summised from it.
The small number of members I'm referring to are verified by DT to be ex military, according to DT, at least.
Yes we all know DT as an entity has infallible divine wisdom and honesty.
Nice strawman.
