Re: What would the end velocity be if...?

Several people have provided expressions for it.
The quantity is a matter of plugging in a velocity and doing some
arithmetic.  The fact that you aren't satisfied does not constitute a
"fallacy" nor any "double-think" in either newtonian or einsteinian
physics.

: Yes, the discussions are informative but certainly not definitive. 

What, specifically, has not been defined?  The meaning of "significant"?
Use any dictionary.  The earliest post I see mentioning "significant"
said fair and square that the standard of significance is arbitrary, and
this arbitrary standard, used for purposes of discussion, was quantified.

Again, none of this constitutes a "fallacy" or any "double-think".
