Gordon - you were right all along.
Here's a recent communication I found rather funny:
"The entire concept pops the image up in my head of the mosquito hitting the windshield of my car as it zooms 65 mph down the Interstate highway. I had no idea that those pesky things would change the trajectory of the mass of my vehicle, and my death grip on the steering wheel will certainly increase after reading all of this science."
