It's the same stuff you usually post when you post about high AR paddles

Certainly not.  Dave Kruger, John Winters, Nick Schade, just to name 
three, all have clues.  That's not an exclusive list though; there are 
others.  I wish John was still around though.

Of course.  I said you've misapplied them, not that the equations are 
wrong.  The equations are correct, but they don't apply to this 
situation.  That's what makes them meaningless - application.
