Your friend learned a lot of things from you.
Some of us are so passionate about the desire to learn about the physical world our emotional and communciation sets truly and miserably suck.
In other words, I can be a jerk. And I love to learn, and the best way I know to learn is to discuss, and "argue".
When I am trying to understand, define, and solve a problem, there are many confusing side channels and sideroads I head into.
Once I truly "Grok" something, or Understand it, I SHOULD be able to explain it down to basic principals fairly easily.
Right now, I don't think ANYONE has a good way to actually calculate the losses due to throttling.
Once you can calculate it, then you should be able to explain it.
If we can explain it, but can't back it with math, and we cannot verify with real world examples, then we are talking out our asses.
