They didn’t. The experiment they conducted proved that the thrust of the plane overcame the speed of the treadmill.

No one debated that point.

Oh that’s exactly what everyone saying “no” is debating

They may not know it but that’s what they are doing.

Not quite.
The speed of the treadmill is pointless because the wheels on the plane are freewheeling.

The plane takes off because the thrust is against the atmosphere (it has zero to do with wheel contact).

There is virtually nothing to overcome as it relates to the treadmill.
