There is a mathematical error in the affidavit.
"Parasite power however varies as the cube of the velocity which means to double the speed you have to cube or have three times the power."
Cubing 2 gives you 8, not 3, so you would need 8 times the power.
Correcting this error would strengthen his argument.
I believe the error was a result of a brief moment of confusion and that the rest of his argument is correct.
