Felt like a Pro cyclist on the Spin Bike

I'm sure others have noticed this......., but it really struck me yesterday.    I was waiting for my daughter at the gym and thought I'd just kill some time by doing some easy biking on the spin bike.   Nice, new bike and hopped on.   I noticed it had a bike computer on it, that had watts.    Looked at what I was riding and it was about 250 watts !   I thought, that can't be right.   My FTP is right about 226 watts, and there's no way that was correct on the spin bike, as I was just idling along.    I thought to myself - I could be at pro cycling levels if I pushed it on this thing.  

Just thought it was interesting to see the high variability in those units vs. the PT.
