Is wiki wrong about MEA?

I run my simulations. You guys are correct asin(vBullet/vBot) is the correct formula.
Now back to the drawing board to see where the logic fails me.
It is not the correct one. It just has a higher value than the real MEA all the time so it works.

Oh' I missed that part. If you are faster than the bullet MEA can't be calculated because it keeps increasing.
No. It is always easier to go by a straight line but for example you've calculated a MEA of Pi radians. Going directly doesn't help because even if we arrived earlier than the orbital one, the wave could hit. I'll make some calculations to be sure that it is true with smaller angles too.
