I was clearly addressing the problem as originally presented, not the hacked-up poorly worded version which various dumbasses have posted throughout the internet such as the one at the beginning of this thread. Obviously if you chop out important requirements from a thought experiment, it can completely change the outcome.
But you're missing the key point, that this thread addresses the question as posed by the OP, not what has been posted elsewhere. And, in any case, the measurement of an aircraft's velocity via wheelspeed is assinine, at best....
