Rahul, even though I am clearly at odds with your
no-lane-change-is-a-good-lane-change philosophy, I must agree with you and
support your statement here.  Two seconds will translate to the 1 car-length
per 10 mph that us mature folks learned at age 16, or earlier.  (I think a
car length may be related to a cubit, but I'm not certain.)  You also appear
to have a rather subtle sense of humor...  That would be...u-h-h-h-h... an
observation.
