Can somebody ELI5 how the "simple criticism" works in the Indeterminate derivatives section? a) h=F/2m deltat^2 only if F is in the direction of h, which it certainly isn't. (Also, if anything, that should be a delta h). b) F is well defined at r=0 (F=0)

The kinematics don't really impact the argument, all it's saying is that the second derivative of the surface does not exist at the peak, which means the change in force with respect to motion is undefined.
