The drift speed is defined as $\text{v}_\text{d}=\frac{\Delta\text{l}}{\Delta\text{t}}$ where $\Delta\text{l}$ is the distance drifted in a long time $\Delta\text{t}.$ Why don't we define the drift speed as the limit of $\frac{\Delta\text{l}}{\Delta\text{t}}\ \text{as}\ \Delta\text{t}\rightarrow0?$
