This is a very clearly presented objection. For that, Stephen, I am
genuinely grateful -- this is the style of presentation we need to make
progress.
But there's an -extremely- basic error in your "coup de grace" posts: how
many seconds are there in an hour? You assume 60 rather than 3600.
Doing your math correctly, the result would be .03 mi^3/s, not 1.9 mi^3/s.
You might not want to talk about death blows until you have a third party
check your arguments.
