This is a rather non answer. If indeed FTL velocities are possible, which 
we do not know if they are or not (equal chance) then it is NOT physically 
meaningless. It is physically meaningful.

Who is we? You? I say we ask Kelly, Lee, Curtis, Ben, etc. And me. As far 
as I know this is a democracy. As for "we" not being interested in FTL 
speculation, speak for yourself. Maybe you're not but that does not prevent 
us from doing so. And hell, we're sture not talking about anything else.

Now how about some real discussion on this subject?
