Apparently your position is not taken so seriously at NTSB as they do not subscribe to your objection. So I repeat, why the strawman about torque calculation? The FOIA denial was not based on that non-issue (to the NTSB that is, the only party who's opinion really matters).
With regards to the FOIA request, there need be no showing of a contrary position to that held by the government. The request is made to release information which is not secret. Surely a Libertarian believes in government accountability and government openness. You are intent on avoiding the purpose of this thread, which was the denial of a FOIA request. NTSB took the requester seriously enough to refuse the release, not on the basis of some phantom torque variable, but its intent to safeguard proprietary Boeing data.
I believe in the laws of physics -- a concept that has apparently escaped the good Captain Lahr in all its details.
