Default "Hull speed" is voodoo science

You're quite welcome. Hopefully I didn't belabor the obvious.


no, you didn't belabor the obvious. you did belabored erroneous, voo-doo
science as written by writers plagarizing other writers who plagarized others
who took to heart a silly, yet scientific sounding, explanation given to 19th
century British naval brass who couldn't understand why doubling the power to a
boat of the time didn't double the speed of the boat. the brit brass dumbly
nodded their heads and proclaimed to the Queen that they had the fastest boats
on the planet.
