So my point/ question is: wouldn't making the foil surface more creased and crumpled (before installing) give it higher marks in the growroom? Mylar has more specular reflection than white paint (distorted reflections), but I assume its material has a higher reflection rate per lumen, which makes up for the limited diffusion/ diffraction of light waves.

i think your on to something, or on something, lol.... ya its like the reflective hood my buddies has with a million little dimples in it.........causing the diffusion of the light?
