Yeah, that’s kinda what I was saying. It is another option, but it would be mostly useless. I guess I just felt like it was a nerdy fun thing to share.

Wikipedia says it was named for both although Ford credits the guy who liked the planes as the person who came up with the name.
One of the people who suggested the name apparently liked the planes, but someone in marketing also suggested the name because he liked the horses. I assume the latter is how it got it’s badges.

GPS speed and Ground Speed don’t always match. That would be really the only other option, but it’s negligible.
Example: a car traveling over mountainous terrain will have a higher ground speed than gps speed since the gps speed is only accounting for position and not elevation. Traveling up a mountain and back down the other side is a longer ground distance (sum of 2 sides of a triangle is always longer than the length of the 3rd side) than the straight line distance if there were, say, a tunnel through the mountain.
It’s really not useful data though because it’s usually a negligible difference.

Reply to comment by GeorgeDaGreat123 in [OC] Shrinkflation has hit my Breakfast Burrito last year. This is the last 7 years of Saturday breakfast burrito weight from the same restaurant. I have been tracking them in excel. You can see a covid dip between Jan - Aug 2020. by chiefd59
In fairness, nowhere in the thread currently does OP say that they ate these burritos, only that they obtained and weighed them.
I mean it’s a safe assumption, but I can’t confirm it.
