We're just saying that the distribution of that mass away from the centerline will affect how quickly the rotating assembly can be accelerated.


Yeah, I know. And That's incorrect. If the moment of inertia is the same than rotational acceleration is the same. This is just high school physics.

If you want to keep the mass closer to the centerline you'll need to add more of it to keep balance.
