Are you positing all the carbonates in the world being laid down in the "flood year"?
You don't understand. In TB's magic surging flood the currents could have been both fast and slow at the same time. As far as I can tell these surges are supposed to be able to do anything required by flood geologists to overcome the impossibilities in their models. They can come from any required direction, carry any required about of sediment any required distance and make as many layers of whatever type as needed during the flood year, even with time for animals to come in from "high ground" and make tracks and build nests and for trees to grow and soils to form between surges so why couldn't they have both fast and slow currents at the same time?
