Tony, you´re wrong on that point. If the plane has a positive earth-ground speed, then the wheels are rotating faster than the conveyor belt. (...) so it´s impossible for the conveyor belt to match the speed of the plane wheels...
And as I said before, in the properly-worded versions of the question, the unambiguous ones, they never talked about the conveyor having to match the wheel speed. Just the plane's speed. In that version of the question, the plane's wheels only have to spin at twice normal takeoff speed before it lifts off. My only point for bringing this up is so that the friction - infinity camps don't have to keep debating those issues.
