you do not even acknowledge longer ron’s pithy reply in [199] where he notes that “Towards the end of that [1908-09] YouTube clip - you can clearly see a guy [running along the side] and stabilizing the wing tip whilst running with it for a few yards”
Are you eetrojan the same as longer ron? Your styles are identical.
Yes, there is somebody running for max. 1 sec along the side of the right wing but he does not create the impression of pushing the plane. The theory that so many witnesses (who saw the plane in different days) had been misled by a guy running in the same direction with the plane and all reached the conclusion that the man had pushed the plane, running as fast as he could, is simply not credible. When somebody pushes a heavy object, he moves slowly and you can see the person struggling to make that thing (ex. a car) go forward.
