Hi Richard,
                 Where is the inertia?  If we just look at down weight,
things can get mis leading.
Take two actions with the same DW.  But one has a high strike weight, the
other a larger amount of key leading.  Guess which one will have the better
UW, and better response.
Just thought I'd put the cat among the pigeons.
