Tao simply does not say the things you people are trying to make him say. He is agreeing with me on every point I've discussed here.

Do you understand what Tao says in the article? With sufficiently high confidence? (Have you even read it?) Be careful. From the article:

Figure 6. By alternating between a pure-lift aerofoil (red) and a pure-lift hydrofoil (purple), one can in principle reach arbitrarily large speeds in any direction.
[...]
[O]ne can use either of the above techniques to increase one’s speed at what is essentially a constant rate; in particular, one can reach speeds of n|w| for any n > 0 in time O(n). [w is the wind speed]
