That article by Jerardi is both a little silly at times and pretty interesting too.
The silly bit is this constant promotion of BSFs. I guess that is how they make their money. But it's basically a guess, and at the end Byer says "it was a pretty interesting exercise in figure making."
It's not an exercise if you don't get scored on it. No one will ever know if these figures are correct or a little off or a lot off. There's no way to ever prove that. So he says it's an exercise. Yeah it's like taking a test without a grade. It's a guess.
But the really interesting bit is that part about the headwind. Which might explain why the pace is slow and final time is so slow.It didn't seem like anyone was able to push the pace even though they weren't traveling that fast. So actually the article is really interesting once you look past the BSF advertisement.
