Data also shows only few to none of the young high school running phenoms that arrive at the NCAA actually win titles and run fast times. If you look at the data, Tuohy is already an outlier from all the young phenoms. You say " 90% of elite Americans were very good young runners but were not phenoms. Giving all of the data to a mathematician who knows nothing about running, they would not predict Tuohy's upside to be anything great." — nor did we predict Tuohy winning titles in the NCAA and running 4:06 and 15:14 at 20 because data shows she should have burned out.
What data? Do you have them? Even a list of names?
I think you are just playing make believe. I think you are using "data" as a rhetorical device to convince us that opinions are special, and should be given more authority than then opinions of other fans.
You can give us a list of all of the high school phenoms over the past 5? 10? 20? years, right?
If you can't, then you are just another fan who has an opinion.
