Let me try to get this straigt. You are saying that a flat sail
generates more lift in lower winds than a full sail?

No, I am not saying that and never did. I had the (perhaps mistaken) impression
that this discussion was about
1- variation in chord depth from middle to upper sections
2- where the best point of max draft
3- entry shape, which is a partially function of #2 above.

Would it be too much trouble to stick to one of these points?
