Which, as I said on the last page, in and of itself proves that you can't stop the airplane taking off, as the interpretation is inconsistent with "Treadmill going so fast that the plane stops". I prefer to think of it as the wheels though, because it reduces the "But it's obviously this, and no amount of argument will persuade me!" things TK was and is doing.
