You basically made a proof against your own claim so I actually don't know what to say. Yes, throttle response is not linked to increased horsepower, very often the opposite to be honest. You are confusing apples w/ oranges a bit here and grossly oversimplifying the analysis.

To help you out, put a big ass snail on a engine versus a smaller one, assume you can even equalize the masses at the same speed and you'll see how the big turbo w/ the big dyno numbers sucks in responsiveness compared to a disco potato.

If anything, throttle response is more correlated to torque production and velocity of air versus your idea of F=MA of the vehicle which is completely irrelevant to this discussion.

Are there people out there that actually think a bigger throttle body increases response? I hope not...
