Am I saying that everybody is a liar or should be treated as such? Of course not, but skepticism is a healthy habit in my experience. I've not seen enough with regard to this guy or his run for me to trust it as truly legit yet.
The thing that bothers me (and I'm as guilty of it as anyone else) is when people use outlier examples during a comparison.


"Yea well this car runs a 12.5!"


"Well this car once ran a 12.4!!!"




Always makes me think of some sports fan arguing with a martian.


"Yea well Usain Bolt ran a 9.6 in the 100 meter, so that's how fast humans are!!"


lol.... Maybe I'm on my own with that last one but hopefully someone follows me.
