You're on to something here! We should do whatever is possible to prevent
Geez from recording our bad runs.  Hey, that sure will drastically cut down
on the resources used to save and analyze my runs. ;-)

But on a serious note, doesn't the Palm only use longitudinal acceleration
in determining auto start/stop?  I suspect it would be possible (albeit very
hard) to take a large sweeper "perfectly" where you are getting 1+ G
lateral acceleration and < .1 G longitudinal acceleration for 3 seconds.
I suspect that a 3+ second perfect sweeper is so hard as to be impossible
for us humans...but what about Daddio?  I mean, unless someone lets
Daddio's micro-fusion reactor run out of fuel or maybe his arithmetic logic
unit suffers some Y2K bug he might be able to pull off a perfect 3 second
sweeper, right? ;-)
