There is always the fourth answer to this old question that I haven't seen yet. May have been joked about earlier in the thread.
The plane is sitting on the runway. All speeds are 0, engines off, treadmill isn't moving, no thrust. You satisfy all conditions of the question exactly. It does not take off.
But the question is "can it take off?" Your answer doesn't answer that in any meaningful way.

That's why the question is designed to cause interaction and argument. You answered the question, people aren't going to be happy with the answer.
