That's a strange way to go..

Claiming that by adding a lot of constant drag force, adding a little more doesn't make any difference is strange reasoning. What counts is how much that extra drag force is compared to the driving force or torque available to overcome it. They use up a lot of the original torque working against the constant drag force they introduce. If they didn't have that drag force, the affect of the drag force of the stylus would be be vastly less important. If somehow the effect of the brake is to increase the effective inertial mass of the platter, then it could be a benefit, but that's not what they say. This could be achieved in some sense if the breaking scheme somehow resists all changes in speed, both increases and decreases. Am I missing something?
