Well, I do. You simply have to put his fastest times against Cheptegei's. There is nothing that Ingebrigtsen has done in over 3 years that puts him any closer.
No, you don't know that. Jakob has never tried to go for a fast time in the 5,000m. You know that. But you are dishonest.
So what. You have no idea whether he can run faster than 12:48 until he does it. There is nothing he has so far done over the distance that shows he can beat Cheptegei's wr. Shorter distances aren't proof. So far Jakob beating the wr is only a fantasy.

You don't. You can't.
So when in the last 3 years has he got any closer to Cheptegei's record than 12:48? Or his 10k record?

It's unfortunate there haven't been more head-to-head matchups between Cheptegei and Ingebrigtsen. It seems Cheptegei has been avoiding Ingebrigtsen since the 2021 Florence 5K.

Not sure if you say this Armstrong, but Jakob Ingebrigtsen recently set the 3K world record in a time 7:17.55. He also holds the 2K WR with a time of 4:43.13.
These records at 3K and 2K are equal to a record 5K. I’ve included the mathematical proof below:
2 + 3 = 5.
If you add Ingebrigtsen’s WR times at 2K and 3K, you get 12:00.68 which is well under the current 5K WR.

What were the indications that Cheptegei would improve from 12:57 to 12:35?

What is more unfortunate is that Jakob seems unable to improve over the distance in that time.

The same argument would have applied. He wasn't a 12:35 runner till he ran it. How many others can run or have run 12:57? How many of them have since run 12:35? The same applies to a 12:48 runner. Fisher is faster than 12:48. It doesn't mean he can beat 12:35.

Jakob is a CHAMPIONSHIP runner. He shows up when the lights are the brightest.
Olympics, World Championships, Euro XC, World Indoors, Diamond League Final—doesn’t matter. Jakob shows up and leaves with hardware.
He’s not a mere time trial merchant who ducks competition at global championships.

I'm sure Bolt's records are also "equal" to Ingebrigtsen's or anyone else's. They don't mean he could set records at longer distances. By the same token, Ingebrigtsen's best distances are shorter distances than 5k - 2k/3k - which don't mean he must be able to run an equivalent record at nearly twice the distance. It isn't his demonstrated "sweet spot". Until he does it it remains speculation.
It isn't a mathematical equation. Athletes are better over some distances than others. The longer the distance the less likely Ingebrigtsen will excel. I wouldn't bet anything on him cutting it at 10k - a Norwegian record notwithstanding.
So when in the last 3 years has he got any closer to Cheptegei's record than 12:48? Or his 10k record?
Army: "Cheptegei's records so far are out of Ingebrigtsen's reach".
You don't know that. You CAN'T know that.
You seem unaware of the difference in their best times. So unless Ingebrigtsen runs a lot faster Cheptegei's records remain out of reach. He isn't faster till he actually runs it and not because you "think" he will run faster. In 3 years he's got no closer to Cheptegei's times, despite breaking records in shorter distances. The signs are clear. The 5K is his outer limit.
