My God, I
always give the wrong answer when asked such questions...!
Anyway, I'll say the water system, for you can't straighten the diameter of the water circuit forever. If we go on this way, the circuit will be closed and no water will pass to make the wheel turn. So there must be a time when you have to stop straigthening the circuit and so the speed will be limited.
But I think I'm very likely to be wrong, for I don't see how categorization intervienes here.
And now, everybody understands why I chose literature and not physics.
I prefered your psysiological example, it was clearer for me.
