I think some people will never get it. They still think it's the old days before we had modern speed figures with all their adjustments for factors such as pace, ground loss, etc. They chose to ignore the impact that modern studies in exercise physiology have on pace, efficient pace patterns and energy distribution.
Most importantly, they cling to the characterization of a figure handicapper who slavishly just bets his top number. No good figure figure handicapper does that.
They must cling to the old fashion methods of incorporating multiple factors that modern speed and pace figures more accurately measure.
