Let’s evaluate your analogy’s internal logic. Take this website. If we average all the reported speeds of slugs, we end up with 0.004925727 m/s.
That is, we add up all the speeds
0.013+0.000023+0.0028+0.013+0.0024+0.00086+0.013+0.0024+0.0018+0.0034+0.0015 = 0.054183
and divide them by 11:
0.004925727.
Now multiply that by 1000:
4.925 m/s, which is 17.73 km/h. That’s double the speed at which I run, but it’s slow compared to car or train speeds.
The upper bound is 13 m/s (0.013 m/s * 1000) or 47 km/h, a respectable increase. That’s as fast as the speed limit in my neighborhood.
The lower bound is a meager 0.023 m/s. That’s 0.082 km/h, a pathetic result.
Speeding up a slug, now 1000x faster but still slow 😏

so true
