But your implication is that by not treating accelerations, they are missing something relevant. At typical accelerations of 0.01g or less and peak accelerations around 0.6g, the energy to accelerate is insignificant in terms of evaluating equipment. (and that doesn't take into account the recovery on deceleration from greater mass.)
As far as I can tell, they also didn't consider the effect of fastener type (allen, flat, phillips) on aero.
