10. There's no way it's affordable to put a bigger plane on an even bigger conveyor belt.

9. The engineering involved in putting a larger (heavier) plane on a bigger (more durable) conveyor belt and pulling it faster is prohibitive.

8. It would take too much time to put a bigger plane on a conveyor belt. We just don't allot that kind of time to a revisit.

7. A revisit is usually triggered when we get information that is NEW, AND has a (snowball's) chance (in you-know-where) of changing our minds. Neither of those two criteria have happened in this case.

6. If you think we need to show why a plane that's not moving won't take off, you're missing the point.

5. If you think we need to take into account the wind created by the conveyor belt itself, you're missing the point.

4. Jamie thinks it would be a waste of time.

3. I think it would be a waste of time.

2. If you really think about it, we got it right.

1. Come ON! We put a gall-durned actual, honest-to-goodness plane on a bona fide conveyor belt and it TOOK OFF. What MORE do you people WANT?! If you're not satisfied by that, I doubt that anything we could do would help.
