It may be accurate, although it really isn't because it also counts the parts where you come to a stop and where you pull up to speed again, but that's not the point.
If you stop at an intersection because the light is red and then one minute later you start again ... your lactate levels will be lower ... your heartrate will be lower ... your breathing will be more relaxed ... in one word: REST.
This rest will make you go faster after the rest, corrupting your overall data because you couldn't have gone that fast without that rest, which you didn't count in.
