<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">The main point that I see is that 106 mph is not all that difficult to believe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the claim was 206 mph, debunkers would have a lot more to work with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But splitting hairs over 106 mph more than a century latter seems like sour grapes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems petty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hanke hangs his debunking hat on the laws of physics, and concludes that a speed of 80-90 mph is all that was attainable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, on the previous page, the Professor of Applied Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Applied Mathematics has set 100 mph as plausible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But perhaps more importantly, he refutes the claim that the laws of physics can be directly applied to come up with a certain answer, as Hanke claims to have done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
