The empirical data say Earth-gravity is good (was 4 mph speed-limits)

I'm wondering what kind of data you can be looking to. We have only a very few days expirience on the moon. None of the moon-walkers were engaged in anything we might call industrial productivity; only gathering of geological samples. We have no expirience at all on Mars.
Another point on your argument that higher gravity=enhanced productivity: Let's say we built a hot-hydrogen balloon-borne colony in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Would you anticipate this colony would enjoy greater productivity levels than Earth, since fork-lifts there would be able to corner much more sharply?
