I agree. All I was pointing out was that if you use an individual muscle less, tire it less, arrive at your destination with less overall muscle fatigue, you are being more energy efficient. Why all the kerfufflage?
The "kerfufflage" is because you are muddying the discussion. Back in freshman dorm, every discussion started with, "Please define your terms." You don't know, or refuse to acknowledge what "efficiency" means. Thus no reason to continue the conversation. You are correct about the pedals, but the effect has little or nothing to do with your reasoning.
