It's wrong to claim that because the engine is doing other
work, ie powering the drivetrain, that effects the power required to
run the fan. It's wrong to claim that a benefit of an electric fan is
that it's going to increase the amount of time it takes for the car to overheat if the WP belt comes off. Just the facts.

You have posted nothing to support any of those claims of "fact."
You are assuming that the same amount of air being forced into the front of the car @ the radiator is the same amount of air that reaches the mechanical fan. I doubt that considering it has to go through the grille, aux fan, condenser, radiator, and shrouding. I never said NO air reaches the fan, just that it is not the same amount of air as the front of the car.
I have had a WP belt fail on my m42 turbo car with my electric fan... and trust me... moving air over the engine will buy you a few minutes. A few minutes can be the difference between a popped head gasket and pulling over somewhere to cool off the car. Again, where the electric fan can stay on with the engine off to speed up the cooling process.
Like I said... you asked a question and we tried to provide you an answer. But you have already decided you KNOW the answer to the question you asked. This leaves a couple of issues. 1. NOTHING we tell you will satisfy you because we are not engineers and cant show you the math. 2. A discussion is impossible because you have made up your mind already. It's like talking to a Jehovah's Witness.
And out of curiosity why do you posts come out in those weird stunted paragraphs? Is it the device you are posting on that does that?
