I’m not sure exactly what mesa is saying here, but insofar as “implicitly tracking the fact that takeoff speeds are a feature of reality and not something people can choose” means “intending to communicate from a position of uncertainty about takeoff speeds” I think he has me right.
I do think mesa is familiar enough with how I talk that the fact he found this unclear suggests it was my mistake. Good to know for future.
