That's odd; I thought we were trying to help kenjiMR make an informed decision regarding which gears are better for his needs, rather than a philosophical discussion of the meaning of the word "acceleration".
Well, I'll give you an example. Here are two statements that you have made that are going to confuse a lot of people because they sound like they contradict each other:
I'm sure a lot of people cannot understand how you could make both these statements. And the only reason I can guess - sorry, but I have to guess because they sure sound contradictory to me - is that you're trying to make subtle, irrelevant distinctions between words like "faster" and "acceleration". Wouldn't it make more sense to apply the physics and show how the differences matter in different situations that kenjiMR might care about, rather than getting into these word games, or whatever term you would like to use for drawing irrelevant distinctions between semantic terms?
Must you always be so confrontational and hostile, Jimbo? Try helping people for a change, instead of responding to every post I make as an opportunity to launch yet another personal attack. For Pete's sake, Jimbo - This is a topic where we aren't even disagreeing, and once again you're attacking me and calling me names. Can't you ever maintain a civilized discussion?
