No, you are referring to some mythical helmet looks "vaguely teardrop
shaped", a bit like your idea of what the Stratos might look like, but
does not include a fairing over the nape of the neck, no vents, an
inbuilt visor or covers over the ears which are what actually allow
aero helmets to produce lower drag despite their greater frontal area.
And as is obvious to all concerned by now, the only hard evidence
posted thus far directly contradicts you.
