Most birds are assholes (by mammalian sensibilities), I don't think any amount of training would have made it safe to turn your back on one of them. Wide adoption of mounts that are just waiting for an opportunity to kill and eat you is a tough sell, lol.

    It's corny and nerdy, but a friend told that me out of everyone he knew, he'd trust me to carry The One Ring. I still consider it one of the best compliments I've gotten.

    That is interesting! Looks like that table is for passenger transport specifically, not energy per mass. People don't pack nearly as densly in transport as heavy cargo does. Not safely and willingly anyway.
