Of course there is.

I think you are inferring something that Alan did not imply. I assumed that Alan knew better than that. Of course the hypothetical "carpet tread" wheel that Alan used in his argument would be turning more slowly since it has greater torque, just as the larger wheel in my example would be turning more slowly than the smaller wheel which is driving it.

I encourage you to mull over the vector analysis that I presented and see if it doesn't make sense to you.
