"Slightly slower" does not equal half as fast. The "squiggle" isn't really significant, but you told me to "please ignore it". Well, if I have to ignore that, then what else should I ignore? (I've heard that before from an IJ).
I invite you to produce a diagram that perfectly matches the text description without any inconsistencies, artifacts, nor room for interpretation.
Boat Scenario diagrams are pretty, doesn't mean they are 100% accurate.
While it is true that diagrams do not tell the whole story, it is also true that text does not either. Both, when presented by parties or witnesses, constitute testimony. Both, when supplied by or endorsed by protest committee, constitute facts found. Neither supercedes the other. See Case 104 which states "neither written facts nor diagrammed facts take precedence over the other".
It's a mistake to dismiss diagrams as "just pretty pictures".
