I didnt say anything about speed. Are you responding to the right comment? It seems like a non sequitur.

I may have just misunderstood you point?

I thought you critized my idea of taking speed into account, by saying that objects in geosynchronous orbit would be stationary as seen from the ground. I just wanted to note that although that is true enough for this argument, such an object would still travel it's orbit at a significantly different velocity compared to the spot on the ground underneath.
