I'm sure you're a great guy too JG, but you're really not contributing much in the way of knowledge and experience to this discussion. You do seem to do plenty of name-dropping.

If you don't believe that the .308 Winchester is ballistically inferior to plenty of other cartriges, you probably need to have a conversation with someone you obviously trust as an authority on long range, such as your friends who are snipers. Or you can check the results of any long range competition held around the world and find out what the guy was shooting who won as well as note how well the guys who shot the .308 Winchester placed.

Of course wind flags are useful. Never said they weren't

Wind flags don't exist conveniently in the field during hunts or any competition that replicates hunting. If a guy has no other method to call wind but with a flag, he has a lot of work to do to become proficient and has no business hunting at long range.
