I couldn't disagree stronger, VG's can be lift enhancers that no clean wing 
design alone could produce, they could also be a fix to some design problem 
as Rutan just employed them on Space Ship One.

In our case they are not band-aids at all.  The wing fly's as designed. We 
aren't curing some problem, we are changing the behavior to suit our 
perceived needs. Some want more lift or a slower stall speed, so they use them.
