yes well done - like I said the question contains an impossibility
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CONVEYOR TO EXACTLY MATCH THE SPEED OF THE WHEELS
get it ?

NAH NAH NAH
The question said the conveyor belt matched aircraft speed - not the aircraft wheel speed - therefore the aircraft must be moving forward in order for the conveyor belt to detect its speed - By definition the speed of the aircraft would be meaured relative to the ground, not the apparent speed based on wheelspin.
Easy, eh - the plane does take off - albeit with red hot wheels - if its a concord it will play jousting with a french hotel and loose.
So thats an end to it.
This isn't theory its fact. I've been on a ski flight from Geneva when the pilot stated categorically that takeoff would be indefinately delayed because the conveyor belt wasn't properly callibrated and was moving us towards Austria !
And I trust Swissair pilots - they should know.
Now another question - if the conveyor belt has an emergency reverse - what happens then ?? Space flight from Geneva !

Tweedcast you are absolutely right Thanks for reminding me to go back and read the question after trawling a hundred answers rather than posting on the jumble that has been created in your head
