BINGO! That's the point I was trying to make. Let's say you know
that a given car runs out of second gear at 63 mph. You watch his run
and note that on the fastest part of the course he bumped into third
for about 2 seconds and then had to slow back down. He comes back to
grid and starts bragging about how he hit 75 in that stretch. You
know damned good and well that he can't get from 63 to 75 in 2 seconds
so you've got all the ammunition you need to completely de-fuse his 75
mph boast.
