David,
That situation is a whole different issue.  In my scenario, I have one wheel
set so that it does not turn at all.  In your scenario, you really can't
know or control what either of the two wheels are doing.

OK. let's imagine for a moment that we have a car with a 3.7:1 differential

and it is sitting with one wheel on dry pavement, and the other wheel is on

ice.  You Northern guys ought to get this!  You give it some gas in  gear
and 
go nowhere.  Are we saying that the ratio to the spinning wheel is  not
3.7:1?
