First one needs to understand that some morons assume gravity
(a force) has a speed.

Then there are the folks who assume that gravity is a force.

Second, understand there are imbeciles that support that ridiculous
hypothesis who would argue in its favour.

The ridiculous hypothesis was made by Androcles.

By analogy,

So we were expected to understand the question not as
a physical question about a physical situation but as
an analogy to something that Androcles does not himself
understand in the first place. All the stuff about the
shuttle and Mach 1 was in reference to the [unstated]
analogy, not in reference to anything physical.

Rather than understanding the question, the first step
is to pose it. Let us agree not to hold our breath waiting
for that to happen.
