Mythbusters - Anyone see something that will stop 6000 page threads?

OK, I think I understand. I’m going to try to paraphrase that. Tell me if I’m correctly restating your thought.

“The wheels are not spinning freely. There is friction at the wheel bearings. So if the treadmill is spinning backwards really fast, the friction at the bearings will apply a force on the plane opposite the direction that the plane is trying to move. This will keep the plane from moving forward.”

Are we saying the same thing?
