Which assumption or conclusion makes that claim? Certainly not me.

CONCLUSION #4: Based on CONCLUSION #2, the plane MUST ALWAYS HAVE a measurable groundspeed and airspeed. CONCLUSION #6: Based on CONCLUSION #3, ASSUMPTIONS #4 and #5, and FACT #5, the conveyor does not negate airspeed.
I never said the plane remains stationary, it just may not take off if it can't develop sufficient airspeed by the end of the runway.
