24/ Downthread I specifically called out how alternate histories can explain some things,
@ZweihanderRPG , for example, if you wanted to have black royalty in the UK, that could absolutely work, but they CAN'T be used to handwave "suddenly women have 3x upper body strength".3 replies 1 retweet 21 likesShow this thread -

27/ the absolute strongest female athlete is about as strong as the average male (NOT the average male athlete) yes, this makes perfect sense thank you for gathering more data to support my thesis

I have not read the blog post yet. I feel I would struggle with this task. I have not had any interaction with a bicycle in many decades. I would have to reconstruct the required mechanical structures from first principles, not memory.

using first principles is the key here - whether you remember or not, sanity checking the proposal vs physics is where people fail / don't even realize that there's a task

Even the sanity checking (in this example) requires substantial familiarity with the operation of a bicycle AND a high degree of mechanical aptitude. Plenty of opportunity to overlook something simply because I haven’t thought about a bicycle in ANY detail since childhood.
