discussing physics on a webmaster board

someone posted this riddle on another board (a shit one):

"The question is:

A plane is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyer). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the plane speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in opposite direction).

Does the plane ever take off, and why or why not?"

the nerds said "sure it takes off, the wheels dont power the plane the engines do"

i say stfu and read the fucking question

this is my illustration which supports my theory it WONT take off:
