LOL! Priceless! Do you see what's happening there?
ChatGPT is channeling ^vento!! EPIC!! Vento will never leave us!
Haha, lucky Vento didn't live to see ChatGPT. He would be out of a job. But yeah, ChatGPT was probably thinking - "most of these LetsRun posters don't know what they are talking about with their human anecdotes, but this Vento character seems a real AI calculator like me!"
You also idolize Peter Snell and won't hear anything about him that doesn't match your views.
I don't idolize Snell. I recognise his achievements. That isn't what you plonkers do.
You clearly idolize Snell, Elliott, Clarke, Halberg, Walker much more than than the biggest Jakob fanboy does idolize Jingy.
You even change their achievements if helpful for your view, you only point on their strong points, never on the weaker ones (completely opposite to what you constantly do for your special friend).
As always, 90% of any "conversation" with you is to clarify what has been said (often without any success).
It proves two things:
1) Snell lost over 15 (mostly international) races during his career. None of them at a big championship.
2) You are unable to think logically and you are extremely dishonest.
You've basically outlined the most important point in your post without seeming to realize it. I guess that this is because you struggle with applying common sense to your arguments because you get lost in trying to prove that you are right about some obscure point.
You obviously also prefer wrong facts over the correct ones if helpful for your view.
I've only corrected several wrong statements from Army which he has done in this thread. This should take a few posts from both sides and it is absolutely clear. But not so with our constant liar, who often refuses to accept the truth.
Are those losses a decisive factor in Snell's career? No, they aren't, and I havn't said otherwise. But Snell was far from unbeaten.

Idolizing is what Letsrunners do. I prefer to see things as they are.

You are a Letsrunner, darling. Only the dolt in the room spends more time than you here. And you definitely idolize those athletes.

Your lying is achieved through misrepresentation. But you will die in a ditch to be "correct" about what you have also conceded were his losses in races that didn't matter - "smaller events". If they didn't matter to his legacy, why do they matter so much to you (as is obviously the case)? Or if they don't matter then being "right" on an issue of minor fact is what matters to you?
I have to say Snell looks like a tank in some of those old vids. Whrn he set the record he looked like a linebacker compared to everyone else. The leg thickness reminded me of seeing Juantorena in person in ‘79 at UCLA. He wasn’t built like Snell of course, but his legs were much thicker and very much more powerful looking compared to all the other runners at the meet. (Juanto was also friendly to us - we were kids standing along the fence on the backstretch so we could see the meet for free - he walked over when we called to him - a couple of my buddies who were Hispanic spoke with him in Spanish - nice guy, at least to kids)
Anyway, Snell looks so powerful in those old films it’s amazing.

That's what his countryman and fellow competitor John Davies said about him. He said that before a big race all the competitors were as nervous as hell and unable to look at each other, while Snell would coolly eyeball each of them as though to say, "you can do what you want but I will beat you with my power".
Davies also described that as Snell exploded past him in the final of the Tokyo 1500 all he could see were these great muscular calves kicking up cinders into his face. One of a kind.
