Essential fact(s)

Oh. My. GOD. Many of you that read comments on posts are surely as despondent as I at this time. It takes only a cursory glance at the comments on either thread below to start to lose hope in humanity. In one last (probably futile) attempt to relieve the "no-flys" of their confusion, allow me to emphasize a critical piece of information which you still may not grasp:

In any realistic situation, the plane will not remain stationary. Repeat after me: The plane will not remain stationary. It will move.

If you intend to reply on any forum thread, this blog, or in a conversation about the AOAT condundrum, ask yourself this question first: Does your no-fly argument depend on an assumption that the plane will remain stationary? If the answer is yes, then you are incorrect. Erroneous. Fallacious. Double-plus untrue. You are wrong.

I can't stress this enough. THE PLANE MOVES! Read the original post below for clarity.
