Default Re: Plane on a Treadmill Rerun on Mythbusters

It's an opinion on interpretation of the question, rather than the answer, which we all know.

The first and third groups, in my opinion, both interpret the question in equally valid ways, and come to equally valid answers, based on their different interpretations, and it's here that most of the argument occurs.

For the record, I fall into the third and more popular group, and said fly, but I actually listened to the first group, and respect their perspective, rather than immediately assuming they're group 2'ers, and trying to lecture them about airspeed.
