You folks just don't get it--the rev limiter's basis for computational
acuracy of the spinning speed of a gasoline engine is a function of the
square root of the cosine function of the angle defined by the hypotenuse
of the current date using year 2001 as a base. Therefore, if the
immaginary number (=square root of minus one) which results from the root
function of the negative result of a number derived from a function going
to 1900 instead of 2000 is great than PI, then the engine will easily
rev to 13,768 RPM.
