This is so obvious that I never understand why this is so often repeated, when I
or others ask these questions.
If I was a 5-year-old asking the question for the first time (or even older) I
would agree the answer was appropriate.
The purposes I would want to know which is stronger are many, but certainly not
included is because I want to know if it will be a better challenge for me to
try and beat!
If I would ask which is faster, a jumbo or a different kind of flight, it
wouldn't be because I want to try running practice against it. I would know only
too well, that a regular sports car would be enough of a challenge, or even a
cadilac!
