I see what your saying,But if you now see how close the highschool track star came to him and you have carl do the same thing to other high school trac stars you can get a pretty good feel as to the relative speed of the highschool track stars and carl Lewis and now if you take other champion runners and see how they do with the other high school track stars and compare you get even a better feel for how carl would do against the other champion runners and also how the other highschool track runners against each other, But of course nothing beats equal "running" conditions :)
