And when Stead actually mananges to make a point...

Wait there's one here somewhere...

Unfortunately wrong, and very sloppy.  Take a ream of paper and turn it into
scraps and tell me you haven't expended energy.  That energy came from the 
flywheel hense the fluff does not have the same energy as the initial flywheel.  
Energy has been used bending molecules, which may or may not snap back, but
more significantly in breaking bonds which originally held the flywheel
together.  Now if you've got the inter fiber bond strength of a material of
carbon carbon fibers we could use for a fly wheel, your a hell of a lot 
farther ahead that most in the carbon carbon field.  Now is this energy enough
to make the fluff safe, I don't know, that's why I asked.  Remember that
carbon carbon bonds are one of the strongest bonds around, thats why we
want to use carbon carbon in the first place.

Can't you listen to your own point?

I guess you'd better keep your gov job.  This sort of attack science doesn't
cut it out here.
