Doesn't matter though because the water right at the levee isn't really moving enough to make a difference.
This was my point.

The real reason this is good is that we want the crest to come and go as quick as possible.
True. But we already know that it won't. Our knowledge of some barge captain having trouble moving upstream doesn't change the fact that the models have the crest holding for several days.

It very well could be indicative of a crest that is speeding up moreso than the USACE anticipated. You're overthinking this a tad, IMO. ETA, high water season can increase the slope of the water by as much as 25%, with the water tumbling towards the gulf on top. This would make it a faster moving crest.

Yes, that's probably right.
