Which I suddenly realize after posting makes my entire point moot.  It
doesn't matter how much total error there is from the linear
deceleration method because the linear deceleration is wrong.  As long
as the averaging method has the actually correct velocity at 2s and thereafter
continues to have the actually correct velocity, it will only be off
by that small amount of error from the first two seconds.
