Naah. He would have pointed out that the energy in the spinning disk is proportional to the squares of the diameters and the angular velocities. Ignoring the mass difference: Energy in spinning disk = (7200 / 78)^2 * (5 / 13)^2 * energy in spinning album. The hard disk wins by well over 1000 times.
