Why do folks not understand ohm's law?

You will have lower current at full tilt if you gear down too, but acceleration currents may be higher since you will have more overall power on tap.

Quite true. My math is quite simplified being a purely resistive load and neglecting any changes in current draw based on the gearing. I primarily did this as a rant because I've seen an awful lot of people stating they'll draw less current by going to 6S from 4S on the same motor. Some folks seem to think that it's a constant power device and you get the same power out no matter what voltage you put in.
