But the Beyer figures are supposed to EXCLUDE the effects of pace...except for some dramatic exceptions which occur in routes....or on peculiar surfaces. I've heard Beyer himself say that his speed figures are "pure-speed" measuring devices.
Is the discrepancy between these two Beyer figures an infrequent "mistake"...or is the "mistake" in the Beyer speed-figure methodology?
