Is the point that it shouldn’t work that way, but it does?
It feels intuitive to me because this is how gears work. The speed where the teeth mesh must be the same if they are locked, so a gear fitted to another with half the radius will rotate at half the angular rate of the second gear.

I think the point is that it's difficult to wrap your mind around. It makes sense when you understand it, but it's confusing.
