Alternately, where is the validated supporting evidence that Nicole was not a hurricane? Surely there must be data to show the wind speed was under hurricane rating throughout the entire life of the storm.

For Ian, or any storm, just go to the WeatherUnderground" and see the historic wind data for the location where the storm made landfall -- that is the easiest starting point. From there, you go the National Hurricane Center website, and then look into the actual aircraft recon data.
Regarding whether a storm was a hurricane or not, it's just a matter of using available data. For times and locations with no data, you are welcome to theorize all you want, but unless you are seasoned professional with accomplished experience in that field, your opinions will not go very far. But as for me, I'm just a data guy. Like my dad would always say, where's the beef. Anyway, enjoy tomorrow's global warming -- but it's just a 7-year trend -- going on 8.
