My personal values are not at issue here. This thread was started with the presupposition that there is value in maximizing downhill velocity, using a large incline and gravity, and also some physical effort to overcome wind resistance, etc. I asked whether or not this is actually an achievement, by which I meant, "worthy of note". There are two possible answers. I make no judgement. If the question itself unsettles you, you can resolve that for yourself, or not.
