I just have to ask. In what way is it a bad analogy?
Possibly you are thinking the freewheeling prop would somehow generate
some forward motion. Not likely or you would have a perpetual motion
machine.
Those with an understanding of basic physics will understand my point. It's
clear that a detailed explanation to you would be pointless, as you would
have figured it out by now if you had the basic understanding.
Oh dear. Here we have the old scientist vs. engineer argument. The asymtotic
approach vs. close enough is good enough.
