This is only fascinating to those who don't understand the topic.

Glen,
Its fascinating to some, as any technical topic can be...... especially when there are so many that DON'T understand it.
you mentioned that average acceleration doesnt equal average velocity. I get this..... now trying to think about which of these graphs would provide the best acceleration if used in the same RPM range.
