Let's evaluate your analogy's internal logic. Take this website. If we average all the reported speeds of slugs, we end up with
0.004925727 m/s
.That is, we add up all the speeds
0.013+0.000023+0.0028+0.013+0.0024+0.00086+0.013+0.0024+0.0018+0.0034+0.0015 = 0.054183
and divide them by 11:0.004925727
.Now multiply that by 1000:
4.925 m/s
, which is17.73 km/h
. That's double the speed at which I run, but it's slow compared to car or train speeds.The upper bound is
13 m/s
(0.013 m/s * 1000
) or47 km/h
, a respectable increase. That's as fast as the speed limit in my neighborhood.The lower bound is a meager
0.023 m/s
. That's0.082 km/h
, a pathetic result.Your analogy's internal logic is valid.
