This causes everyone in the outside line to increase speed to close the gaps.

You know this. Either you are just confused because words are not reality and you cannot translate from page to life .... or you are just looking for a fight.
Half-wheeler.
Your logic is painful, yet you accuse me of not having sufficient ability with language. It's pretty clear that you've either a) never experienced a group ride under the subtle influence of a half-wheeler or b) if you have, it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
In your world, the half-wheeler only momentarily increases speed, and the rest are responsible for a permanent increase in speed, to close gaps that the half-wheeler opened. At that point, the half-wheeler is then
forced to match that increase, though no fault of their own, so that they don't get dropped. Got it - the half-wheeler is completely innocent.
So, a question: if the half-wheeler's increase is only momentary, why isn't the rest of the group capable of a similar, momentary increase to get everything squared away? Oh, that's right - because when the half-wheeler
momentarily increases their speed teleports again, positioning themselves a half-wheel ahead, the rest all have to up the tempo again, just a teeny bit, to close the half-wheeler's gaps and, eventually, the innocent half-wheeler is going to get swept up in their shenanigans, amiright?
