You're leaving out the effect of gravitational perturbations (GPs)..
These show up unannounced, kinda like wind shear, and lob a wrench
into an otherwise ordinary day...  Like people who carve level notches
into a perfectly good descent ramp..  The guy in the yellow raincoat
on Laugh-In was frequently attacked by GPs..  A couple of extra beers
will attract every GP in the vicinity until you hide in a ditch, the
lowest point around, clutching the remnants of your dignity.  Pretty
much any time you stop your bike at a light and grin vacantly at a
scantily clad young female pedestrian, you can count on a GP tossing
you to the pavement.  Most im****tantly, GPs liberate a guy from any
direct responsibility for some rather embarrassing events-- sliding
down all the stairs on shoe leather alone--  being found under a table
in a bar at closing time-- leaving a perfectly dry canoe while
fi****ng.  Don't spend too much time wondering why.    Just keep 911 on
speed-dial..
