Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?

My post is not contrary to Thomas', it reinforces his comment. My statement
is a further rebuttal to the statement thomas was responding to.

On the contrary, the problem clearly states that the conveyor is moving
at the speed that the plane is moving (but in the opposite direction).

The statement "the conveyor is moving at the speed that the plane is
moving" (the one you say the problem states) is a very different statement
from "which always reduces the plane's forward movement to zero" (the
statement Thomas responded to).

How is your post contrary to Thomas'?
