Yeah, but that's not really the point. I hate to be a pain, but I really like 
pointing this out :)
The thing is that WF10 isn't, afaik, an actual speed, it's *infinite* speed. 
Therefor, *whichever* speed is infinite = WF10. And even if you've got super-
duper-technology from the year 9345, you can't travel faster than infinite 
speed (and, infinite speed just happens to be 10 on the Warp scale, again, 
whichever speed that might be), because if you did, infinite speed would 
suddently not be just that, infinite speed.
