Yes sir, that is correct. I also did not refer to the DOD and rotaries. I made the same comment as you only I substituted the rotary for 'DOD' and 'car manufacturers' for 'all vehicles'. In other words, if you can make your statement (If the DOD were so easy it would be on all vehicles), then you can make this one (about rotaries being so great... all car manufacturers would make them) as well.
Not a 100% on that interpretation... I spoke of the pumping losses in one paragraph. The following paragraphs (3 in total) covered what happens when you do not inject fuel, which you said "... It does no good to shut down injectors... Not injecting fuel does nothing to reduce pumping losses."

You may correct me if I am wrong, but I believe I was addressing the 'shutting down of the injectors' comments you made. The drop kick came from rugby which is 3 points. In the genesis of US Football and up until the non-use of the drop kick, it was (and still is) 3 points.

The straight-ahead kick is a snap kick. It has a long follow through. The soccer-style kick is a sweeping kick with a short follow through. The former explodes through the ball while the latter pushes through. Force=Mass x Acceleration. The mass being the same (the leg and foot)... the acceleration of the former is greater than the latter. Bruce Lee demonstrated this often.

Jan Stenerud of the Kansas City Chiefs continually belted the ball into the bleachers with the straight-ahead kick that soccer players were taxed to copy.

However this 'BS' as you say, was mainly for analogous purposes; it was never meant to be the 'science'.:D

Your knowledge of physics is astounding. Please explain why 9 of the 10 longest field goals are by soccer style kickers yet your physics prove that straight on kicking is more powerful. Oh yah, the one straight kick in the top 10 was by Mr. Dempsey. Uh huh, sadly he is the guy that had the deformed foot that just so happened to be perfect for kicking a football. I didn't see Mr. Stenerud anywhere on the record board.

My apologies... I should have never used the analogy. I concede... the analogy that is.
