Bullcrap - that's not how aircraft or aerial weaponry works.

When the F-11 in question was struck by it's own cannon rounds it was moving about double the speed of those cannon shells because the velocity of the cannon shells had decayed to about 400mph - a speed even a late-WW2 fighter could easily achieve.

The Grumman F-11 is not even an especially fast aircraft by late-50s standard. The MiG-19 was introduced almost at the same time as the F-11, and it was already significantly faster.

I've heard the analogy of "a Ferrari engine, but with the brakes and turning power off a bicycle".

If I'm on a straightaway, we're golden. Just don't ask me to change course partway through or stop to explain anything. I'll end up just hitting a wall.

That's actually a really apt analogy, it's like running at a cheetah's pace everywhere except sometimes you trip over your own feet. I can't count the number of times as a kid I would start daydreaming or get impatient when people are talking to me because I already figured out what their point was 20 seconds ago

It's more complex than that

At work, we have a student who I'm suspecting has ADD, and I've been experimenting with different talking speeds, to see when her brain would be too bored and start multi-tasking, and when I was just explaining too fast for her to grasp it.

When I told her about my experiments, she said that the way her brain works, is that she just loads the whole sentence into RAM and then at the end of the sentence, she actually 'listens' to it and makes sense of it.
I had noticed that when she doesn't get something, she'll show no reaction until after the end of the sentence, when she'll suddenly go "What?".

And yeah, just what the heck...

I'm guessing, her brain has always been in this hyper-distraction state, and she just developed massive RAM + processing speed, so she could still get the gist of what people say, without needing to actively listen.
I have no idea what I can actually do for her with this info, but it is fascinating nonetheless.

Our brains aren't really faster, they're just worse at organizing the process so we skip right to the end

YMMV

Ouch!

Neurotypical is just a point on a scale. There is no such thing as a neurotypical human.
