No, it wouldn't. This is just angles. Angles don't change. Gravity is stable and points roughly to the center of the planet. Viscosity changes won't change the angle of anything. That's the entire point.
> Importantly, the dynamic viscosity µ and surface tension γ do not change across our experiments, nor in the context of human urination.
From the paper:
> Splash generated from a jet or droplet train impinging on a flat surface is a complex phenomenon depending on many factors, including the impact speed (U), impinging angle (θ), dynamic viscosity (μ), density (ρ), diameter of the jet or droplet (D), surface tension (γ) of the liquid, ambient pressure (P), as well as the wettability,
contact angle, and roughness of the surface. ... In the context of urination, most of these factors cannot be changed. However, the impinging angle can be controlled to reduce or eliminate splash.
I didn't misread anything. I was replying to your claim with statements, from the paper itself, that invalidate your statement.
The study used an experimental design that ignores those variables, because, they claim, they do not apply to human urination, without citing any resources.
