Yes, I understand the difference however, if you wanted to accelerate a bicycle to approx 30 km/h and arrive at the same point and time the rider with the heavier wheelset would need to produce approx 3 watts more during the period of acceleration.

You refuse to factually defend your ridiculous position that wider tires, within a reasonable range, are noticeably slower

You also won't defend the flawed logic that within the reasonable ranges we are talking about, that a touring cyclist will accelerate noticeably slower with heavier wheels.
