Take two tubes, one with polished inner walls and the other with a carefully roughened surface, and blow air through them.
If you carefully measure the airflow, the one with the roughened surface will always flow more air - This is because the carefully roughened surface tends to make the boundary layer of the air touching the walls of the tube stick to the walls better, and so effectively make the tube a bigger diameter than the smooth walled one.
It's an easily repeatable test done around the world.
