> The tilting causes discomfort.

True. I regulary used Finnish Pendolinos over 10 years ago and it was a pretty wobbly experience. Nowadays they run with tilting disabled and I had nearly forgotten about it.

Until I travelled on a Swedish X2000 many years later and immediately felt it again. Maybe a bit less wobbly, but pulling you "into the wrong direction" in a more determined way. Not really pleasant and I can easily believe people getting "sea-sick" especially when working on a laptop.

However, without tilting and the same speed the sensation might be worse. I guess we don't know, because without tilting they reduce the speed in curves.
