Jeff, thank you for going through the entire explanation again. I know that we've done this dozens of times in the past. We've also estimated wind resistance and rolling friction and dozens of other insignificant variables. We've looked at this issue from every point of view. As you can see from the two other posts in response to yours, some thoughtful individuals will listen to the devine logic and physical common sense of what you have said and say, "That makes sense". On the other hand, there are the boarder-line imbiciles who still still feel that your explanation is wrong - "we need to run a test". They have no data to question, no measurements, nothing but they feel that despite everything, they are still correct. To them I have only this to say: "Yes, we do need to make a test. We need to find out how a brain as small as theirs can generate enough power to make their feet move."
