But rate of change of power is something that almost never comes up, and it's a lame attempt to find a gnat's penis worth of redeeming value in an earlier post that was actually just a mistake.
I would.t have quite put it that way............:D

Except that you took it one step farther and said, effectively, that the rate of change of a rate could not exist.
Actually, I didn't. Acceleration due earth's gravitational field is 9.81m/sec/sec. At the earth's surface I should add. That's an obvious example.
But, in the context of the OP, it is about the power used by the human brain. Not the rate at which that changes.

Yes, but that is not what the original topic is about.
It's average power for the brain.

Since when has that made any difference to us? :D

is there a lot of wattage here?

power? well, that is work done over time.....

The unit of power is the Watt (W), which is equal to a Joule per second (J/s)

heres my 6 watts worth: one Jules for six seconds:
