1. in video below Lindybeige doesnt agree:

2. that would have to be measured first. From what i remember, every times somebody did that, results were flawed, like for example only measuring the trajectory for throwing, not for thrusting.
3,5 and 6 same thing in that video, you can pretty much parry quite well with underarm and your grip is much stiffer and you can better fix your spear from ever being pushed aside
4. would need to be measured.
7. guys behind are behind their own shields, so sauroter is not endangering them at all, plus, farthest it would go is precisely where their shield is. Which would actually allow transferring the movement energy of the entire formation into the speartip, but crouching the spear, fixing it against the shield of guy behind me and hitting the enemy like that in the charge.. momentum would give far more energy in such charge than any kind of a thrust. (charging medieval knight principle)
8. not sure what you mean by that.
