alt Hacker NewsBased on numerous studies, we already know it's not 1:1 so why bother starting with a default assumption that we know is wrong?
Do you have an alternative analysis? I'd love to check it out.

I do agree the relationship probably isn't linear, but the fourth power rule doesn't necessarily have numerous studies confirming it. It was a small collection of studies on road wear the US highway administration did in the 1950s and pretty much everyone has just gone with that. Other studies have pointed to it being less than previously thought.

Throwing even more weight against your 12,000mi is really 35,000mi equivalence.
