Some VOIP services I've used have much higher audio bandwidth than POTS. So much so, that the call has a disturbing quality to it. It feels like a telephone shouldn't sound that good.
Of course, right about the time I have that visceral reaction, packets start dropping and the person I'm talking to begins to sound obscenely time-dilated.

Seriously, though. It was akin to pretending that episodes IV, V, and VI were the only Star Wars movies ever made. It's a cheeky way to express an opinion. If that's too nuanced for your comprehension, then you might have Asperger's.
AC was using feigned ignorance as critical commentary on the perceived unworthiness of the intervening titles.
Even more simpler-er: Disney owns the Star Wars franchise, so of course they will favor that one. (Also, not wanted to get sued by ST owners probably factors in as well.)

When you pick a lost cause, you really commit. My hat's off to you.
It's not arbitrary. Starting at approximately 100km, the speed at which an airfoil could generate enough lift for flight is greater than orbital velocity at that same altitude.
"Approximately", because it will vary based on conditions.
I got plenty. But seeing how I'm conversing with someone who objects[*] to small injections of humor[**] to a non-somber thread, there doesn't seem to be much point.
[*] Or at the least, was triggered by a good-natured jab at their favorite musical genre
