"Average Speed goals are so stupid. Braking for 1 second decreases the average by 3 mph, but acceleerating for 6 only increases by 2."

Well of course that's the case. It's a double whammy! The longer you brake, the slower you will be going when you stop braking, so you'll have lost average speed during the braking phase AND you'll be losing average speed during the acceleration phase because you're starting from a lower speed so you'll be going slower all the time, you might gain a bit during the subsequent braking phase (as you're going slower so will have to brake less) but if you're already braking (too) early then you'll most likely brake (too) early again ... if you lose 1mph average for one corner, think how much you lose over the course of the whole lap with 10+ corners!
