E-Tesla6 now uses empirical curve fitting from data.  However, that data
was gained from other computer models which are purly theoretical (Paul's
TSSP) :-))  So no "real" test data is ever used or relied upon.  But I
guess it uses empirical data from other models ;-))  The good thing is that
no matter what program or method one uses, the results are all the same, at
least, now days :-))
