I have to admit, I haven't read through the whole thread, but from just skimming the last couple pages I gathered my following thoughts:
Ashton, the problem with your logic is that you are robbing yourself of positive momentum. When you shift, now your motor has to work against inertia. Less inertia to overcome with the other school of thought. That is an important variable you seem to dismiss. Additionally, I agree, the idea is to put yourself in the fat end of the powerband - biggest area under the curve (never thought I'd refer back to Calculus :rofl
. But let's study your logic further... you seem to easily assume that your logic is always going to give you the highest average HP, however, that is not always the case. It is highly dependent on the slope of the curve before peak vs. after peak.
Basically, both schools of thoughts are right...and equally wrong.
