Lightening touch by changing damper timing redux

[Conrad Hoffsommer]

The problem, as I see it, is the mixing of "weights" and "actual feels".

Weighing off an action on the bench gives a static weight. Actual feel is 
dynamic.

The dynamic allows the concept of "work" into the mix. If I recall 
correctly, work is mass x distance. If you delay the damper lift, less work 
is done since the mass is moved a shorter distance. Since less work is 
done, the feel is lighter.

A note statically weighed off to 52gm which has a key with 7 lead weights 
will require more work to be done than one which has three weights and a 
wippen assist spring.  (greater mass through the same distance) This is 
exaggerated as the force is increased by increasing the speed and 
introducing time into the equation turning it into "power". [mass x 
distance/time.]

This may be simplistic, but it's how I conceptualise it.
YMMV
