..the key is piston speed during the cylinder charge combustion 
vs piston movement during that combustion.  Static minds may 
find that kinda math challenging, so they pretend it's all 
about gas expansion and constant speeds and nothing else. ;o)

..maybe, do the math and check it against your experiment, 
then decide whether the map or the terrain is right. ;o)

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
