Rosser: I am not going to get into the debate about the specific math of your model as others have already done so.
There's only one equation in this post and it's a standard one. Were you referring to the Speed Limit post? I already put all original math in that post into abeyance pending further investigation.
I'm reasonably certain the McCabe I was quoting isn't your McCabe.
