I think this is an important topic . . . but I'm not really qualified to discuss the physics aspect because of the genetic crap shoot and all.
The short answer is that it is harder to move a long lever than a short one, but a long lever can provide more force for a given amount of speed.

COAM is effectively keeping a long lever, as short as can be while building speed by creating angles, and then as long as can be by releasing those angles at the proper time for the application at hand.
