Default 3 Gear v 4 Gear

I'm just wondering if all this 3 Gear v 4 Gear business isn't just a load of malarkey!

I just did a few sums and by my calculations if you were running a gear ratio around 9:1 then the three gear inertia effect of the rotor would be just 3.9% of that of the rear tyres on their own never mind the rest of the transmission. At 6:1 it is only 2.6%.

Is that really significant? I doubt that I would be able to tell the difference but perhaps the aliens can!
