If you enjoy reading technical argument back and forth (especially
when you suspect that one side is full of it), and have not
already done so, this one is for you.
There is much discussion about a concept called Direct Downwind
Faster Than the Wind (DDWFTTW). The idea of going directly
downwind faster than the wind using only that wind power.
Apparently they breed the silliness with the idea that you can
move directly into the wind using only the wind power. And you can
guess from that, that greater wind speed means you can move
faster.
Monty Python and a complete waste of time comes to mind.

I figured there might be some good counter argument there.
