You really havent got the foggiest idea what my post was about dont you?
And do you think I'm an Aussie?
(I live in europe and there are still over twice as many europeans as americans...those kind of numbers seem to impress you...apparantly its now 2:1 in your logic. Not that that matters, even if only 1 person says something he can still be right.)

Here some more links that prove and clarify my posting and explain the physics a little bit more in detail.

Do you have a technical education? (and if so, in what?)

And where is your source on how the SAE sets your particular ft·lb standard and not ft·lbf?
Because you seem to be pretty sure about SAE's standpoint on that.
Have you actually checked with SAE's Technical Standards Board? (which describes how their technical standards are set)
