Oh I understand that, have for years

What I don't understand is how guys like David can come here and make baseless claims.. Such that he had no idea how much the speed should be affected.. but did that stop him from making the claim? Nope! Now that we have some numbers to get a feel for the affect.. I get a good laugh at David's expence that he 'thinks' he can detect an 11kph difference that he didnt even know as 11kph until I provided him the data.
