I have a feeling you're arguing just to argue, as a result, I'm not going to argue anymore. You have never once stated how the treadmill will overcome the thrust of the engine. No matter what you say, the thrust will push the plane off of the treadmill and create groundspeed to create lift.

Where did I state that the propeller does not create thrust? Of course it does.
The question seems to be a scenario where the plane will, with zero ground speed, suddenly leap off the treadmill because of the treadmill happens to be moving underneath the plane. I'm stating that without a massive gust of wind, that is not going to happen. If the treadmill is long enough (and the plane generates sufficient ground speed/airflow over the wing, of course it is going to fly. That scenario isn't much different than a conventional take-off.
